"Before the mountains were born, before You gave birth to the earth and the world—from eternity to eternity, You are God!" Psalm 90:2

"The Lord is the true God; He is the living God, the eternal King!" Jeremiah 10:10

There was a time, if 'time' it could be called, when God dwelt all alone.

There was no Heaven, where His glory is now particularly manifested.

There was no earth to engage His attention.

There were no angels to hymn His praises.

There was no universe to be upheld by the word of His power.

There was nothing, no one, but God; and that, not for a day, a year, or an age—but "from all eternity."  Psalm 93:2

During eternity past, God was alone:
  self-contained,
  self-sufficient,
  self-satisfied,
  in need of nothing.

Had a universe, had angels, had human beings been necessary to Him in any way—they would have been called into existence from all eternity. The creating of them when He did, added nothing to God essentially. "I the Lord  do not change" therefore His essential glory can be neither augmented nor diminished.

"Trust in the Lord forever,for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal!" Isaiah 26:24

"How great is God—beyond our understanding!
 The number of His years is past finding out." Job 36:26

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God—be honor and glory for ever and ever! Amen. " 1 Timothy 1:17
