وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَعَشِيًّا وَحِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ
Walahu al h amdu fee a l ssam a w a ti wa a lar d i waAAashiyyan wa h eena tu th hiroon a
and [seeing that] unto Him is due all praise in the heavens and on earth, [glorify Him] in the afternoon as well, and when you enter upon the hour of noon.13
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., "remember God at all times". Apart from this general exhortation, the hours mentioned above circumscribe the times of the five daily prayers incumbent upon a Muslim. The "evening hours" indicate the prayer after sunset (maghrib) as well as that after nightfall ('isha').

- all praise is due to Him in the heavens and the earth - so glorify Him in the late afternoon and when the day begins to decline.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
all praise is for Him in the heavens and the earth- as well as in the afternoon, and at noon.1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 This verse outlines the times of the five daily prayers. The evening refers to Maghrib and ’Ishâ' prayers, the morning refers to Fajr, the afternoon refers to ’Aṣr, and noon refers to Ẓuhr.

Unto Him be praise in the heavens and the earth--and at the sun's decline and in the noonday.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Yea To Him be praise in the heavens and on earth; and in the late afternoon and when the day begins to decline.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
