Study Lenses

The verse centers on "midst--she", "moved", "doth", "help", "turn", and "morn". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "midst--she" and "moved", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 4's "A river--its rivulets rejoice the city of..." into verse 6's "Troubled have been nations Moved have been...", so "midst--she" and "moved" belong inside that flow. In Psalms context, the local focus is worship, trust, the LORD's kingship, and covenant mercy.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "midst--she" and "moved" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
