Scripture seaks of people rightly being glorified in the past and the present, as well as in the future at the "last trumpet".

All the verbs in the following Scripture -- about God giving glory to His faithful ones --- are past tense:

Romans 8:30
"And those he predestined
he also called;
and those he called
he also justified;
and those he justified
he also glorified."

This passage about the righteous Israelites being given glory,is past or present tense (depending on whether it means they were given glory in the past, when they received the covenants, or whether it means they "are" Israelites who have this glory now):

Romans 9:4
"They are Israelites;
theirs the adoption,
the glory, the covenants,
the giving of the law,
the worship,
and the promises."

Paul refers to his glory in the present:

Romans 11:13
"Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I glory in my ministry."

It is God who is glorified in His angels and in His saints.
