10 (A)He found him in a desert land,
And in the howling wasteland of a wilderness;
He encircled him, He cared for him,
He guarded him as (B)the [a]apple of His eye.
11 (C)As an eagle stirs up its nest,
And hovers over its young,
(D)He spread His wings, He caught them,
He carried them on His pinions.
12 (E)The Lord alone guided him,
(F)And there was no foreign god with him.

12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
