Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
David teaches every godly person to thank God first for mercies granted to himself, then for the grace He has given to all His chosen ones through covenant. The Psalmist chiefly magnifies God's mercy in bearing with His people, not because they deserve it, but because He takes pity on their weakness.

Commenting on Psalm 103:1-22
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, or rather "filling with good thy soul." No man is ever filled to satisfaction but a believer, and only God himself can satisfy even him. Many a worldling is satiated, but not one is satisfied.
A man who talks to himself this way is no fool; he is rousing his own heart to praise. The soul must do the work, all of it, heart-work, not mere lip-service, and to praise rightly we must remember His mercies, for to forget them is to be both unjust and unkind.
