The Lord Will

Psalm 103:5

“Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 103

Meaning

Within “Bless the Lord and remember his benefits,” verse 5 praises God for satisfying life with good so that renewed strength is pictured like the eagle's youth; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.

Read carefully

Read Psalm 103:5 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 103; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.

Reflection

Respond to the verse's specific emphasis — praises God for satisfying life with good so that renewed strength is pictured like the eagle's youth — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 103.
