The Most High God gave land to be the home of each nation.
When he made people into separate groups,
    he decided where their borders should be.[a]
He did that to match the number of angels in heaven.[b]
But the Lord himself takes care of his own people.
    Jacob's descendants are his special people.
10 The Lord found them in a desert place.
    It was a place where strong winds blew and nobody lived.
He took care of them and he kept them safe.
    He protected them, like someone protects their own eyes.
