As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
Like cattle that go down into a peaceful valley to rest, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. This is how you led your people, to bring glory to your own name.
God is saying that just as animals find peaceful rest in valleys, He gave His people rest through His Spirit's guidance, all to bring honor to His own name.
