@RebecaMaldonado It’s a reverent way of saying ‘you,’ often used when referring to God... “We thank thee for this food.”

It is actually an old word that is not used much in contemporary English, except in church.
I give it to thee = I give it to you
This house is thine = This house is yours
Thy dog is cute = Your dog is cute
Thou are (usually "art", the old way of saying "are") good = You are good.
Since you speak Spanish, I will add that originally "thou" corresponded to "tú" and "you" corresponded to "usted", but all of the familiar forms of you (thee, thou, thy, thine) have mostly disappeared from the language, except for the Bible (the King James version of the Bible which was written in the 1600s, but which many people still read today -- which is why you still hear these words in church), and in Shakespeare's plays
