John Trapp on Psalms 4:8

Verſ. 8. I will both lay me down in peace and ſleep] Heb. In peace together will I lye down and ſleep; that is, ſaith the Syriack interpreter, Non ſolum cubabo ſed etiam Dormiam, I will not only lye down, but alſo ſleep; which many cannot do for fears and cares, thoſe Gnats that keep them waking. The Arabick hath it, I ſleep as ſecurely in adverſity as thoſe can that are in proſperity. Others thus, I wil lay me down together with the joy before ſpoken of, and confidence in God: this ſhall be my Bed-fellow; and then I am ſure to reſt ſweetly and ſafely. For, Thou Lord only makeſt, thou ſetteſt me in ſafety, thou giveſt to thy beloved ſleep, Pſal. 127.2. that is, extraordinary quiet refreſhing ſleep, as the learned note upon the Aleph quieſcent in [illegible: 1 word] which is not uſual.
