Deuteronomy 32:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ He sustained^[a] him in a desert land,
    in a howling wilderness waste;
he shielded him, cared for him,
    guarded him as the apple of his eye.
¹¹ As an eagle stirs up its nest,
    and hovers over its young;
as it spreads its wings, takes them up,
    and bears them aloft on its pinions,
¹² the Lord alone guided him;
    no foreign god was with him.
