Deuteronomy 32:8-10

American Standard Version

⁸ When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
When he separated the children of men,
He set the bounds of the peoples
According to the number of the children of Israel.
⁹ For Jehovah’s portion is his people;
Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
¹⁰ He found him in a desert land,
And in the waste howling wilderness;
He compassed him about, he cared for him,
He kept him as the apple of his eye.
