Psalms 103:5
who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Interpretation
Psalms 103:5 shows a youth renewed that is lived within study and play—see "who" and "satisfies". Choose youth renewed by steady, quiet faithfulness—anchor courage in promise. Creation & New Creation connects here: From creation to re‑creation—God renews people and cosmos (Gen 1; Isa 43:19; 2 Cor 5:17; Rev 21:5).
Context
Psalms speaks here as poetry/wisdom writing, highlighting youth renewed. Within ch. 103, a small unit frames the emphasis. It edges toward creation & new creation. Watch the terms “who” and “satisfies”.
Manuscripts & Textual Witnesses
