The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 92:2

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

To show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. The suitableness of worship every morning and evening has been almost universally felt. The Mosaic Law provided for it by the establishment of the morning and evening sacrifice (Exodus 29:38, Exodus 29:39), with the accompanying ritual.

Jewish piety added a noonday prayer (Psalms 55:17; Daniel 6:10), and Christian zeal established the "seven hours of prayer." Morning and evening still, however, remain, by common acknowledgment, the most appropriate times for worship.
