Contextual Overview
8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings, and their bodies were covered with eyes. Day and night they never stopped singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, the all-powerful God, who was and is and is coming!" 9 The living creatures kept praising, honoring, and thanking the one who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever. 10 At the same time the twenty-four elders knelt down before the one sitting on the throne. And as they worshiped the one who lives forever, they placed their crowns in front of the throne and said, 11 "Our Lord and God, you are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. You created all things, and by your decision they are and were created."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when these beasts give glory,.... When they give God the glory of all his perfections, covenant, and promises, and of all the gifts and grace bestowed on them, and of the success of their ministry; and in it glorify Father, Son, and Spirit, who bear their respective parts in the business of salvation; and ascribe to each their due glory in election, redemption, and sanctification:
and honour; in the several parts of religious worship performed by them; and not with their lips only, but with their hearts also:
and thanks; for all blessings, temporal and spiritual, bestowed on them, and on the saints: even
to him that sat on the throne; God the Father, Revelation 4:3;
who liveth for ever and ever; he who is the living God, and will always continue so.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And when those beasts give glory ... - As often as those living beings ascribe glory to God. They did this continually Revelation 4:8; and, if the above explanation be correct, then the idea is that the ways and acts of God in his providential government are continually of such a nature as to honor him.
