The Lord is our dwelling place. The physical and other circumstances of our life change all the time, but the Lord is our dwelling place. Our nature is to try and find security in our material circumstances, where we live, our job, etc. If we do this we will be disappointed. But when things change we can feel unsettled. This is natural, but the solution is to look to the Lord, it is only in Him that we will find security.
The Lord is eternal and has always been, even before creation. Time is completely different to God than it is to us. He lives beyond time and is not constrained by time in the way that we are.
Clearly the Psalmist was experiencing judgement at the time of writing. The sins of the nation were before the Lord. His response is to seek the Lord and to call upon Him to show favour to the nation.
