Deuteronomy 32:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
    when he separated the sons of men,
he fixed the bounds of the peoples
    according to the number of the sons of God.^[a]
⁹For the Lord’s portion is his people,
    Jacob his allotted heritage.

¹⁰“He found him in a desert land,
and in the howling waste of the wilderness;
he encircled him, he cared for him,
he kept him as the apple of his eye.
