God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved. While the world is being turned upside down (Psalms 46:2, Psalms 46:3, Psalms 46:6), the Church is unmoved—since "God is in the midst of her." God shall help her, and that right early; literally, at the turning of the morning, or, in other words, "at the break of day" (comp.

Psalms 30:6; Psalms 49:14; Isaiah 17:14). The deliverance of Israel from Sennacherib came, it is to be remembered, when it was discovered "early in the morning" that in the camp of the Assyrians were 185,000 "dead corpses" (2 Kings 19:35).
