From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
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.
