The answer

The statement "God Almighty has spoken the truth" is an absolute ذكر (remembrance/invocation). Restricting it to a specific time, place, or situation requires evidence, because it was not narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Worshipping in a way that has not been legislated is not permissible and is considered an innovation. The best practice upon finishing a recitation is simply to remain silent, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Ibn Mas'ud: "Enough for you."
