0:00.0 | Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life in the time it takes to get to work. |

0:17.4 | All right, today we're diving into Psalm 41 and before we get into the Psalm itself I think one thing you might find interesting is that if |
0:21.5 | you turn your Bible to Psalm 41 at the end of it you're going to see bold letters that say book 2. |
