Psalms 46:5

God is in the midst of her Cp. Isaiah 12:6; and Micah 3:11, where we learn how this watchword was abused by those who saw in the Presence of God a pledge of protection but no call to holiness.

she shall not be moved More stable than the solid mountains (Psalms 46:2): more secure than the kingdoms of the earth (Psalms 46:6).

and that right early Better, when the morn appeareth, when the dawn of deliverance succeeds the night of distress (Psalms 46:3; Psalms 30:5): but not without a special reference to the morning when they rose to find Sennacherib's army destroyed (Isaiah 37:36), and a reminiscence of the Exodus, where the same phrase is used (Exodus 14:27).
