shalom shalom

Isaiah 26:3 "The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you." (BBE)
"You will keep [him] in perfect shalom, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on you]; because he trusts in you." (HNV)

Perfect peace is shalom shalom in Hebrew.

The Strong's concordance defines Shalom as completeness, soundness, welfare, peace:
  • completeness (in number)
  • safety, soundness (in body)
  • welfare, health, prosperity
  • peace, quiet, tranquillity, contentment
  • peace, friendship of human relationships, and/or with God especially in covenant relationship
  • peace (from war)
  • peace (as adjective)
