To the best of my knowledge, "thou" is a pronoun. It's the Middle English variation of "you."
"Thy" is an adjective, so it acts like "your."

Thou shalt not kill. (You shall not kill.)
Love thy neighbor. (Love your neighbor.)

They are pretty much archaic pronouns.

Thou was the second person singular pronoun. Thou (You) shall not commit adultery.

Thy is a possessive form of thou. Give me thy (your) heart says the Father above.
