Whenever and wherever we worship, we do so "before the gods." There is only one God, the almighty Creator of heaven and earth. With the psalmist, we bow down in worship, that is, we enter the presence of God with awe, reverence, and humility.

We draw near to God with sins forgiven and "with a true heart in full assurance of faith" (Hebrews 10:22b). That is how we worship God, with heart and soul and mind. Jesus said that the greatest and first commandment is "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). How do we worship? David does not speak of our songs and psalms, even though he wrote quite a few of those himself. All glory belongs to the only God, the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When we gather on Sunday with other believers or when we offer praise during personal devotions at home, we know whom we worship, as David knew. Our lesson covers three topics: whom we worship, how we worship, and why we worship. This is not really his purpose he is simply offering praise and thanks to God, but we can learn from his praise. In these few verses, David the psalmist gives us a brief lesson about worship. Psalm 138:1-2 - I give You thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart before the gods I sing Your praise I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your Name for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted above all things Your Name and Your Word.
