I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
Someone might say that the word, gods, refers to lords, princes, rulers over lands and nations.
Indeed, the Psalm mentions the kings of the earth.[1] No doubt we ought to praise and glorify God in the presence of them all.
Another will say that we ought to praise God in preference to the idols and false gods men have made.
This is for sure a fact. Thou shalt have no other gods before him.
I wish to suggest that we ought to praise and sing praise to God in the midst of a world filled with people worshiping every form of false god and idol.
Those gods are nothing except for what the people who worship them make them out to be. Our God is alive, more powerful than any man or group of men. We do not make God what He is, He makes us what we are.
We live as strangers in this world. Sing praise to the LORD who is strange to all the world. Make the world to know Him.
[1] Psalms 138:4 (KJV)
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
