Habitation
God is the habitation of his people, who find rest and safety in him (Ps 71:3; Ps 91:9). Justice and judgment are the habitation of God’s throne (Ps 89:14, Heb. mekhon, “foundation”), because all his acts are founded on justice and judgment. (See Ps 132:5, Ps 132:13; Eph 2:22, of Canaan, Jerusalem, and the temple as God’s habitation.) God inhabits eternity (Isa 57:15), i.e., dwells not only among men, but in eternity, where time is unknown; and “the praises of Israel” (Ps 22:3), i.e., he dwells among those praises and is continually surrounded by them.
