The affirmation that God dwells in the midst of the city, helping her when morning comes, establishes divine protection operating at the crucial moment of vulnerability. The image of early morning as the time when help arrives suggests that God operates at the transition from darkness to light, from night's vulnerability to day's security. The specific reference to God helping early in the morning suggests prompt intervention at the time of maximum need. The statement that the city shall not be moved establishes permanence and security for those who dwell in God's city. The imagery suggests that divine presence guarantees stability and protection against all threats.
