Commentators emphasize that the 'peaceable habitation' is more than just physical safety. John Calvin, for example, links it directly to the spiritual peace with God that comes from justification by faith (Romans 5:1). This internal peace, a fruit of righteousness, calms the conscience and provides a profound security that surpasses worldly understanding or circumstances.
