1.

Radak: The Chasidim mentioned (verse 1) will have great rest. Death is called Shechivah - "v'Shachavti Im Avosai" (Bereishis 47:30). Even though it can be understood to mean lying in the grave, it will be with tranquility of the Nefesh. Shechivah also implies tranquility - "Lo Shachav Libo" (Koheles 2:23), "v'Orkai Lo Yishkavun" (Iyov 30:17).

2.

Malbim: Hashem says, Anshei Chesed die so they will rest in the world of rest.
