Canon 15 of the Fourth Council of Toledo (Iberian Peninsula, AD 633) orders clerics to say Glory and honour be to the Father instead of Glory be to the Father at the end of psalms.
[Titulus in recensione Iuliana] XV Quod in finem psalmorum non sicut a quibusdam "Gloria Patri..." sed "Gloria et honor Patri..." dicatur
[Titulus in recensione Vulgata] XV Quod in fine psalmorum "Gloria et honor Deo" sit dicendum
 
Canon 15
 
In finem psalmorum non sicut a quibusdam hucusque "Gloria Patri...," sed "Gloria et honor Patri..." dicatur, Dauid propheta dicente: "Afferte Domino gloriam et honorem," ed Iohannes euangelista in Apocalipsin audiuit uocem caelestis exercitus dicentium: "Honor et gloria Deo nostro sedenti in throno." Ac per hoc haec duo sic oportent in terris dici sicut in caelis resonant. Vniuersis igitur ecclesiasticis hanc obseruantiam damus, quam quisque praeterierit iacturam habebit.
  
(eds. Martinez Diez, Rodriguez 1992: 163, 171-172, 204-205)
[Title in the recension Iuliana] XV That "Glory and honour be to the Father" should be said at the end of psalms and not as some people say "Glory be to the Father"
[Title in the recension Vulgata] XV That in the end of psalms "Glory and honour be to God" should be said
 
Canon 15
 
At the end of psalms "Glory and honour be to the Father" should be said and not "Glory be to the Father" as some people did until now, because the prophet David says: "Bring to the Lord glory and honour" [Ps 29 (28):2] and John the Evangelist in Apocalypse heard the voice of the celestial hosts saying: "To him that sitteth on the throne honour, and glory" [Rev 5:13]. And therefore these two things shall be said on earth as they sound in heaven. Thus, we decree that all the ecclesiastics shall observe this, and if someone ignores it he will be punished.

About the source:

Title: Fourth Council of Toledo (633), IV Council of Toledo, IV Concilium Toletanum, IIII Concilium Toletanum, Concilium Toletanum quartum a. 633
Origin: Toledo (Iberian Peninsula)
Denomination: Catholic/Nicene/Chalcedonian
The Fourth Council of Toledo was a council of the whole Visigothic church (86 bishops were present) gathered by King Sisenand (631-636)  in 633 and held under the presidency of Isidore of Seville. It is sometimes claimed on stylistic grounds that Isidore was an author of the decrees (Collins 2004: 79).
 
The acts of the Fourth Council of Toledo are transmitted in the 7th-century canonical collection from Spain, the so-called Hispana. Its authorship has been attributed to the Isidore of Seville (it is still accepted by Martinez Diez 1966; other scholars reject this attribution: Munier 1966; Gaudemet 1967: 122-124; Schaferdiek 1967: 144-148; Landau 1968: 406-418). This collection has several recensions: a primitive one, the so-called Isidoriana, lost today; the Juliana recension edited after 681 and attributed to the Julian of Toledo, that adds to the previous recension the acts and canons of the councils from the Fifth Council of Toledo do the Twelfth (in 681); the Vulgata recension edited between 694 and 702 that adds the acts and canons of the councils from the the Thirteenth Council of Toledo up to the Seventeenth held in 694, this recension was the most widespread during the Middle Ages (more bibliography see Kéry 1999: 61-67). The two recensions Iuliana and Vulgata give different titles to the canons of the Fourth Council of Toledo (Martinez Diez 1992: 17-20).
