What does Psalm 103:5 mean when it talks about youth being restored like the eagle's? How is an eagle's youth restored?

Psalm 103:5 says “ Who is satisfying your lifetime with what is good; Your youth keeps renewing itself just like that of an eagle.” Some, believe that here in Psalm 103, it is making a reference similar to the one found at Micah 1:16 . There we find a reference to the molting that the eagle undergoes, although this is said to be a gradual and rather inconspicuous process. This molting process, bringing some reduction of activity and strength and followed by a renewal of normal life, may be what the psalmist meant by one’s youth “renewing itself just like that of an eagle.” (Ps 103:5) Others see in this a reference to the relatively long life of the eagle, some having been known to reach an age of 80 years.
