"Thou" is for the subject of a phrase, same as "he"/"she", "they", or "I":"I know I'm a million times as humble as he is."-> "I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art."And"She was the best of us, and she shall be missed." -> "Thou wert the best of us, and thou shalt be missed."
"Thee" is for the object of a phrase, same as "him"/"her", "me", or "them":"I wrote this entry for them, because I wanted them to know.” -> "I wrote this entry for thee, because I wanted thee to know."And"What should I get for him? It's important that I make him happy." -> "What should I get for thee? It's important that I make thee happy."
Finally, "thy" is the common possessive pronoun (e.g. "my", "your," "his/"her", "their") and "thine" is either "thy" immediately before a vowel, or the possessive adjective, used in the places you would use "mine"/"hers"/"theirs" e.g. "That book is mine" not "That book is my".
Thou is used in place of "you" too, in some regions "thee" might be preferred, but it is not universal.
