de.mi denotes quietness, especially where continued speech or action leaves no quiet or rest, while its use with “days” is less clear.

The clearest attestations place de.mi in appeals that allow no quietness or rest: watchmen are continually not silent and are given no rest in Isaiah 62:6, and God is given no rest in Isaiah 62:7. Psalm 83:2 places the term in a verse where enemies roar, while the construct form in Isaiah 38:10 occurs with “days” in a departure-to-Sheol statement whose specific contribution the APB does not isolate.

   The absolute forms in Isaiah 62:6 and Isaiah 62:7 occur in clauses of continual watchfulness and petition: in Isaiah 62:6 the APB renders “they will continually not be silent” and “give yourselves no rest,” and in Isaiah 62:7 it renders “give him no rest.” In Psalm 83:2, the absolute form occurs in a verse where the APB renders the enemies as roaring; in Isaiah 38:10, the construct form occurs with “days” as the speaker describes departing to Sheol, though the APB does not isolate the term's contribution there.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clearest contexts with “not be silent” and “no rest” in Isaiah 62:6 and Isaiah 62:7. Its wording in Psalm 83:2 and Isaiah 38:10 does not identify a specific English rendering for the term.
