A Restored Soul
Commentators explain that "He restoreth my soul" means more than just forgiveness. It describes God actively reviving, refreshing, and re-energizing a spirit that is weary, faint, or exhausted. When you feel spiritually drained or empty, God acts as a "great Restorer" (Spurgeon) who brings back life and vigor to your soul.
