Grammar Rules

Verb form II — intensified
يُسَبِّحُونَ (They glorify (Him)) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.
The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".

Sahih International

They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.
