The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Lamed
91. “Day continueth according to Thy ordinance” ( ver. 91 ). For all these things are day: “and this is the day which the Lord hath made: let us rejoice and be glad in it:” and “let us walk honestly as in the day.” “For all things serve Thee.” He said all things of some: “all” which belong to this day “serve Thee.” For the ungodly of whom it is said, “I have compared thy mother unto the night,” do not serve Thee.
