Psalms 46:5

Psa 46:5 God [is] in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, [and that] right early.

Ver. 5. God is in the midst of her ] Hence the Church is called Jehovah Shammah, the Lord is there, Ezekiel 48:35 , there he hath set him up a mercy seat, a throne of grace, and paved his people a new and living way thereunto with the blood of his Son, so that they may come boldly, obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need, Hebrews 4:14 .

She shall not be moved ] Or, not greatly moved, Psalms 62:2 , in those great commotions abroad the world, Psalms 46:2-3 . This bush may burn, but shall not be consumed; and that by the blessing of him that dwelt in the bush, Deu 33:16 Built she is upon a rock, Matthew 16:18 , and so is every particular believer, Matthew 7:25 . And if at any time they be in distress,

God shall help her, and that right early ] Heb. when the morning appeareth; that is, in the nick of time, when help shall be most seasonable and best welcome, Exodus 14:23 , Begneth haveshugnah (Kimchi). Mourning lasteth but till morning, Psalms 30:5 ; the Church is invincible, ακινητος και ανικητος ).
