Are there other gods?

Excerpt:
As we’ve been reading through the whole Bible as a congregation, I have fielded a few questions about Scripture’s apparent references to divine beings other than God. The answer to the following question on that topic has a lot to do with worship, so I’m sharing it with you here.

QUESTION

In Psalm 138, what does it mean by “I will sing praises to You before the gods” in verse 1?

ANSWER

That’s a great question. The Hebrew word is elohim, which really can (in this context) be translated as gods.
