John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

Israel knew the true God by His mighty works; to commit idolatry with strange gods that are no gods at all, before Him who espoused them as His own, is monstrous ingratitude and shocking impiety, as audacious and wicked as a wife committing adultery in her husband's presence.

Geneva Bible Notes Reformed @genevanotes

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (b) To whose eyes all things are open.

John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

God sets Himself before us so that we look to Him alone and transfer our worship nowhere else. The plain reading is 'Make not to thyself gods before My face', not that He merely forbids them a lower rank, but that He suffers them neither to be likened to Him nor joined with Him as companions.
