lowly in heart

Here "heart" is a metonym for a person's inner being. The phrase "lowly in heart" is an idiom that means "humble." Alternate translation: "humble" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)

you will find rest for your souls

Here "soul" refers to the entire person. Alternate translation: "you will find rest for yourselves" or "you will be able to rest" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
