In Psalm 138:1-2, David writes: "I will praise You with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to You. I will 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." Acknowledging God's presence means giving Him praise and thanksgiving for who He is and all He has done. It also means recognizing that He is sovereign over all things and worshiping Him accordingly.
