^11 (A)Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,
    that flutters over its young,
spreading out its wings, catching them,
    bearing them on its pinions,

^4 (A)even to your old age I am he,
    and to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
    I will carry and will save.

^9 (A)In all their affliction he was afflicted,^[a]
    and the angel of his presence saved them;
^(B)in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
    ^(C)he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.

³¹ but ^(A)they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
    they shall mount up with wings ^(B)like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
    they shall walk and not faint.

^5 (A)Like birds hovering, so the Lord of hosts
    will protect Jerusalem;
he will protect and deliver it;
    he will spare and rescue it.”
