Commentary on Psalms 103:5
Theological / DevotionalLike the eagle’s. The ancient story that after a certain time the eagle molted and renewed its youth is without scientific foundation. The bird molts inconspicuously. Perhaps the psalmist has in mind the fact that the eagle lives longer than many other birds and keeps its vigor. The forgiven sinner shows the freshness of renewed youth.
With this personal ascription of praise, David turns to the experience of God’s children. Note the six blessings in vs.: 3–5: forgives, heals, redeems, crowns, satisfies, renews.
