"Rest" Means "Be Silent"
Multiple commentators explain that the Hebrew word for "Rest" can be translated as "Be silent" or "Hush." This is not a call for apathy, but for a quiet, confident submission to God's will. It involves actively silencing our internal turmoil, anxiety, and complaints, and patiently trusting that God is in control, even when we don't understand His timing.
