Job 29:20

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

My glory was fresh in me; i.e. "my glory remained fresh"—received no tarnish, continued as bright as it had been at the first. And my bow was renewed in my hand. My strength did not fail. When it seemed on the point of failing, it was secretly and mysteriously "renewed."

The general meaning is much the same, whichever of the two views we take.
