This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
My glory was fresh; the reputation which I had gained by my just and virtuous life was not decaying, but growing, and every day augmented with the accession of new honours.
In me, Heb. with me.
My bow, i.e. my strength, which is signified by a bow, Gen_49:24 1Sa_2:4, because in ancient times the bow and arrows were principal instruments of war.
Was renewed, Heb. changed itself, i.e. grew as it were a new bow, when other bows by much use grow weak and useless. Or, changed its strength, which word may be here understood, as it is expressed, Isa_40:31, i.e. hath got new strength.
