Shochen Ad
is a prayer based on the following verse of scripture;
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
The initials of the four synonyms for "righteous" in B'fi Yisharim happen to form the acrostic Yitzchac; by re-arranging the verbs
Titromom, Titbrach, Titkadash, Tithalal, the third letters spell Rivcah. Such arrangement is found in the Sephardic Siddur. -Birnbaum
The Art Scroll has more to say on this. On the Sabbath the chazzan begins with He Who abides forever, because the Sabbath was the climax of Creation, when G-d had all of Creation, including man, to acknowledge and praise Him.
And further to clarify the Birnbaum above about what four verbs spell out the acrostic Yitzchac; Yisharim, Tzadikim, Chasidim, Kidishim, i.e, upright, righteous, devout, and holy. These are also noted as the four types of people
who praise G-d. - Art Scroll
