9 For Jehovah’s people are his portion;+

Jacob is his inheritance.+

10 He found him in a wilderness land+

And in an empty, howling desert.+

He protectively encircled him, took care of him,+

And safeguarded him as the pupil of his eye.+

14 He did not allow any man to oppress them,+

But on their account he reproved kings,+

15 Saying, “Do not touch my anointed ones,

And to my prophets do nothing bad.”+
