The Definition of the word Habitation

Habitation

God is the habitation of his people, who find rest and safety in him (Ps. 71:3; 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," "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.
