"To sleep the sleep of the righteous"

Does anyone know where this phrase comes from? It sounds biblical but I can't find it in the Bible (maybe I haven't looked in the right places...).

All suggestions welcome!

I'll have a look see. The expression that I'm familiar with is "the sleep of the just."
