Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 103:5

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things : so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles .

Who satisfieth all thy just desires and necessities.

Either 1. As the Eagle reneweth her youth by casting all her old Feathers and getting new ones, whereby it seems to grow young again. But this being common to all Birds would not have been appropriated to the Eagle. Or rather 2. Like the youth of an Eagle. As the Eagle lives long in great strength and vigour, so that the old age of an Eagle is used proverbially for a lively and vigorous old age. So this is a promise of a long and comfortable life.
