Previously on Thomas in the Bible, Jack Bauer is forced to deal with terrorists that are threatening to detonate a nuclear bomb in the city of Los Angeles.

0:19.6

At the same time, he's unable to locate his daughter,

0:23.1

who could be in L.A.

0:26.0

where the bomb's going to explode or maybe not.

0:29.0

And, of course, he can't trust anyone.

0:31.9

No one's trustworthy,

0:33.5

because, you know, when it's convenient for the plot,

0:37.2

they're going to turn out to be bad all

0:38.8

long. And so what's Jack Bauer to do?

0:42.7

Psalms. I don't know.

0:49.7

Thanks for Harley for that intro. Maybe once we're done with Psalms, the intros will be a little

0:56.6

better. I mean, not to cast any judgment on that intro, you just did, Harley, but I don't know.

1:01.8

I've heard better ones from you. All right. Well, I'm in uninteresting news. I changed back to my old condenser mic that I thought was broken. I don't know what's going on with this thing.

So I don't, it could have been a cable thing, I guess. But I don't know. Who cares? Okay, so this one should be a little longer because we have Psalm 119, which is a freaking behemoth Psalm. It's 176 lines or verses, or verses as people who have read the Bible might call them.

1:44.0

Yeah, and it's divided into 22 parts, and each one starts with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

1:53.4

I don't know what the point of that is.

1:55.5

I was trying to read some stuff about it because it seemed, you know, I mean, it seems kind of unique.

2:01.0

So I was just making sure there wasn't anything important about it.

2:03.9

But after reading about it, I'm finding that it just seems to be a description of, you know,

2:12.3

someone's description of their feelings on God or whatever.

2:16.0

So it turns out it's just the same thing that

2:19.2

there always is. Let's see. Yeah, yeah, there's nothing interesting. All right. Blessed are the
