From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Rest in the Lord -Margin, “Be silent to the Lord.” The Hebrew word means to be mute, silent, still:Job 29:21;Leviticus 10:3;Lamentations 3:28. Hence, to be silent to anyone; that is, to listen to him in silence; and the idea in the phrase here, ““be silent to Jehovah,”” is that of waiting in silent patience or confidence for his interposition; or, in other words, of leaving the whole matter with him without being anxious as to the result. And wait patiently for him -For his bringing the matter to a proper issue.
