Footnotes
Yachdav ("together, simultaneously, at once") qualifies "lie down and sleep" — both happen in the same moment, with no anxious vigil between; it is the sleep of those without dread. Levadad ("alone, only, exclusively") is emphatic: YHWH and no military strength or material wealth is the ground of security. The root betach (security, trust) here forms an inclusio with batach in v.5, wrapping the psalm's close in the same vocabulary of trust. F.O.G retains shalom in its full Hebrew register of wholeness and wellbeing; F.O.G Message draws out the experiential depth.
