God Most High gave ·the nations their lands [L each nation its inheritance],
    dividing up the ·human race [L sons of man].
He set up borders for the people
    ·and even numbered the Israelites[a] [L according to the number of the sons/T children of Israel].
The Lord took his people as his ·share [portion],
    the people of Jacob as his ·very own [L special inheritance].

10 He found them in a ·desert [wilderness],
    a windy, ·empty [unformed; Gen. 1:2] land.
He surrounded them and brought them up,
    guarding them as ·those he loved very much [L the apple/pupil of his eye].
