From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I was not in safety -That is, I have, or I had no peace.שׁלהshâlâhSeptuagint,οὔτε εἰρήνευσαouteeirēneusa- “I had no peace.” The sense is, that his mind had been disturbed with fearful alarms; or perhaps that at that time he was filled with dread. Neither had I rest -Trouble comes upon me in every form, and I am a stranger wholly to peace. The accumulation of phrases here, all meaning nearly the same thing, is descriptive of a state of great agitation of mind. Such an accumulation is not uncommon in the Bible to denote any thing which language can scarcely describe.
