Man's happiness is in God's favor In peace The Hebrew word for "peace" here is "shalom," which encompasses more than just the absence of conflict. It signifies completeness, wholeness, and well-being. In the context of ancient Israel, "shalom" was a state of harmony with God, others, and oneself. This peace is a divine gift, reflecting a life aligned with God's will. The psalmist's use of "shalom" suggests a deep, abiding tranquility that comes from trust in God, transcending external circumstances. I will lie down and sleep for You alone, O LORD make me dwell in safety Thou, Lord, only.--The authority of all the ancient Versions, including the LXX. and Vulg., is for taking the adverb with the predicate, not with the subject as in the Authorised Version: "Thou, Jehovah, makest me to dwell alone in safety." We see from Jeremiah 49:31, Micah 7:14, that isolation from other nations was, in the Hebrew view, a guarantee against danger. This certainly favours the view that the poem is national rather than individual. For the concluding verses of the psalm Luther had a great affection, and desired Ludvig Teuffel to set them as the words of a requiem for him. Verse 8. - I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep (comp. Psalm 3:5). His confidence in God enables David to lay himself down calmly and tranquilly to sleep, whatever dangers threaten him. He seeks his couch, and at once (יחדּו) slumber visits him. No anxious thoughts keep him tossing on his bed for hours. For thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. David has a satisfaction in thinking that it is God only who watches over him. All other help would be vain, superfluous. God alone brought Israel through the wilderness (Deuteronomy 32:12); God alone established Israel in Canaan (Psalm 44:2, 3). David feels that he needs no second helper and protector.
