Praise God From Sunrise To Sunset

"From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of The LORD is to be praised."  Psalms 113:3 (NIV)

This psalm of praise was sung was normally sung before the Passover meal.  The author is unknown.  The message, however, is quite clear, The Lord God is to be praised from the beginning of each day until the end of each day.

This verse literally says that we should praise God from sunrise to sunset.  However, some Bible scholars would say that it means that all who enjoy the benefit of a sunrise or a sunset should praise God. (Matthew Henry)  While other Bible scholars say that it means that we should praise God continually. (William MacDonald)  Still others say that we should praise God "from the first moment of consciousness in the morning to the last waking moment before sleep." (John MacArthur)  It is clear that we should praise God, and we should praise Him multiple times during each day, and not just during the daylight hours.
