Deuteronomy 32:8-10

World English Bible

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 Yahweh’s portion is his people.
    Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
¹⁰ He found him in a desert land,
    in the waste howling wilderness.
He surrounded him.
    He cared for him.
    He kept him as the apple of his eye.
