Asaph speaks of God as if God was a soldier returning from a mountain after winning a great battle.

You shine brightly and reveal your glory

You shine brightly

The words "shine brightly" are a metaphor for being great. AT: "You show how extremely great you are" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
