Shalom!

  This phrase is picked up by the rabbis and inserted into a
separate blessing among the Shabbat morning blessings.  There the blessing
is made to God, and the question framed in Job is answered.  "Barukh 'atta,

night."

Sorry, but in the prayer book I use, we say it every morning, the first in
the series of morning blessings (birkhot hashahar).  Sephardim say it near
the end of the same series.
