This verse is a clear call for God's people to be missionaries. Commentators note that the command to 'declare his glory among the nations' is about extending God's kingdom to the entire world. The praise of God is not meant to be kept private but to be proclaimed universally, so that those who are strangers to Him might be led to worship.
