00:04:13.490 --> 00:04:17.949
So<00:04:13.750><c> it's</c><00:04:14.289><c> not</c><00:04:14.509><c> just</c><00:04:14.710><c> a</c><00:04:14.909><c> history</c><00:04:15.189><c> lesson,</c><00:04:16.310><c> not</c><00:04:16.509><c> just</c><00:04:16.730><c> a</c><00:04:16.930><c> dry</c><00:04:17.189><c> chronology,</c>

00:04:18.410 --> 00:04:22.029

00:04:32.689 --> 00:04:35.269
for<00:04:32.790><c> how</c><00:04:33.069><c> God</c><00:04:33.350><c> has</c><00:04:33.629><c> worked</c><00:04:33.810><c> in</c><00:04:34.029><c> the</c><00:04:34.189><c> past.</c>

00:04:35.850 --> 00:04:38.589
Hopefully<00:04:36.170><c> this</c><00:04:36.410><c> morning</c><00:04:36.689><c> we'll</c><00:04:36.970><c> use</c><00:04:37.269><c> this</c><00:04:37.629><c> psalm</c><00:04:37.850><c> as</c><00:04:38.050><c> a</c><00:04:38.170><c> very</c>

00:04:41.410 --> 00:04:45.250

00:05:49.029 --> 00:05:53.509
I'd<00:05:49.670><c> like</c><00:05:49.689><c> to</c><00:05:49.949><c> begin</c><00:05:50.250><c> by</c><00:05:50.550><c> just</c><00:05:50.910><c> taking</c><00:05:51.269><c> the</c><00:05:51.509><c> last</c><00:05:51.829><c> part</c><00:05:52.250><c> of</c><00:05:52.509><c> Psalm</c><00:05:52.689><c> 106</c>

00:05:56.990 --> 00:06:01.290
So<00:05:57.149><c> we'll</c><00:05:57.310><c> read</c><00:05:57.470><c> from</c><00:05:57.629><c> verse</c><00:05:57.889><c> 43</c><00:05:58.790><c> of</c><00:05:59.750><c> Psalm</c><00:06:00.009><c> 106.</c>

00:06:01.670 --> 00:06:04.790
Many<00:06:02.110><c> times</c><00:06:03.089><c> did</c><00:06:03.750><c> he</c><00:06:03.970><c> deliver</c><00:06:04.269><c> them,</c>

00:06:11.170 --> 00:06:14.129

Now<00:17:05.950><c> we're</c><00:17:06.230><c> reversing</c><00:17:06.789><c> again.</c>

00:17:08.049 --> 00:17:09.390
So<00:17:08.190><c> we</c><00:17:08.349><c> make</c><00:17:08.490><c> a</c><00:17:08.650><c> note</c><00:17:08.730><c> of</c><00:17:08.910><c> that,</c>

00:17:09.529 --> 00:17:11.589
although<00:17:09.670><c> it</c><00:17:09.809><c> seems</c><00:17:10.049><c> rather</c><00:17:10.349><c> puzzling.</c>

00:17:11.970 --> 00:17:14.910
Come<00:17:12.150><c> down</c><00:17:12.289><c> to</c><00:17:12.430><c> verse</c><00:17:12.630><c> 39</c><00:17:13.170><c> as</c><00:17:13.410><c> the</c><00:17:13.650><c> psalm</c><00:17:13.890><c> ends.</c>

00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:17.430
Again<00:17:15.490><c> they</c><00:17:15.829><c> are</c><00:17:16.210><c> diminished</c>

00:17:17.430 --> 00:17:19.829
and<00:17:18.349><c> brought</c><00:17:18.630><c> low</c><00:17:18.990><c> through</c><00:17:19.250><c> oppression.</c>

00:17:20.150 --> 00:17:22.190
Once<00:17:20.390><c> again</c><00:17:20.670><c> the</c><00:17:20.869><c> people</c><00:17:21.069><c> are</c><00:17:21.309><c> humbled.</c>

00:17:22.670 --> 00:17:24.390
But<00:17:22.769><c> look</c><00:17:22.910><c> at</c><00:17:22.990><c> verse</c><00:17:23.250><c> 40.</c>

00:17:24.710 --> 00:17:27.750
Here<00:17:25.269><c> the</c><00:17:25.829><c> focus</c><00:17:26.170><c> is</c><00:17:26.349><c> on</c><00:17:26.529><c> the</c><00:17:26.730><c> rulers</c><00:17:27.009><c> of</c><00:17:27.250><c> the</c><00:17:27.450><c> land.</c>

00:17:27.950 --> 00:17:30.089
He<00:17:28.130><c> poureth</c><00:17:28.750><c> contempt</c><00:17:29.150><c> upon</c><00:17:29.549><c> princes</c>

00:17:30.089 --> 00:17:32.630
and<00:17:30.549><c> causeth</c><00:17:31.150><c> them</c><00:17:31.349><c> to</c><00:17:31.650><c> wander</c><00:17:31.910><c> in</c><00:17:32.029><c> the</c><00:17:32.210><c> wilderness</c>

00:17:32.630 --> 00:17:34.869
where<00:17:33.089><c> there</c><00:17:33.269><c> is</c><00:17:33.490><c> no</c><00:17:33.730><c> way.</c>

00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:36.609
Yet,<00:17:35.569><c> verse</c><00:17:35.950><c> 41,</c>

00:17:36.789 --> 00:17:39.589
he<00:17:37.190><c> setteth</c><00:17:37.470><c> the</c><00:17:37.769><c> poor</c><00:17:38.109><c> on</c><00:17:38.509><c> high</c><00:17:38.769><c> from</c><00:17:39.029><c> affliction</c>

00:17:39.589 --> 00:17:42.470
and<00:17:40.130><c> maketh</c><00:17:40.390><c> him</c><00:17:40.730><c> families</c><00:17:41.130><c> like</c><00:17:41.390><c> a</c><00:17:41.630><c> flock.</c>

00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:44.609
The<00:17:43.049><c> righteous</c><00:17:43.369><c> shall</c><00:17:43.609><c> see</c><00:17:43.849><c> it</c><00:17:44.049><c> and</c><00:17:44.190><c> rejoice,</c>

00:17:44.809 --> 00:17:48.309
and<00:17:45.170><c> all</c><00:17:45.490><c> iniquity</c><00:17:46.190><c> shall</c><00:17:46.529><c> stop</c><00:17:46.930><c> her</c><00:17:47.269><c> mouth.</c>

00:17:50.650 --> 00:17:53.890
Having<00:17:51.329><c> noticed</c><00:17:51.990><c> those</c><00:17:52.470><c> transitions,</c>

00:17:54.250 --> 00:17:57.049
having<00:17:54.490><c> noticed</c><00:17:54.869><c> that</c><00:17:55.049><c> you</c><00:17:55.269><c> have</c><00:17:55.549><c> one,</c><00:17:56.130><c> two,</c><00:17:56.589><c> three,</c>

00:17:57.230 --> 00:17:58.690
four<00:17:57.650><c> main</c><00:17:58.029><c> sections</c>

00:17:58.690 --> 00:18:01.430
with<00:17:59.230><c> a</c><00:17:59.509><c> refrain</c><00:18:00.009><c> ending</c><00:18:00.529><c> each</c><00:18:00.970><c> one</c>

00:18:01.430 --> 00:18:04.109
and<00:18:01.869><c> a</c><00:18:02.089><c> change</c><00:18:02.309><c> of</c><00:18:02.650><c> location</c><00:18:03.089><c> or</c><00:18:03.529><c> plight</c>

00:18:04.109 --> 00:18:05.809
as<00:18:04.410><c> it</c><00:18:04.650><c> begins</c><00:18:05.009><c> the</c><00:18:05.210><c> next</c><00:18:05.490><c> section,</c>

00:18:05.849 --> 00:18:07.849
you<00:18:06.009><c> see</c><00:18:06.230><c> a</c><00:18:06.490><c> structure</c><00:18:06.829><c> emerging.</c>

00:18:08.529 --> 00:18:09.990
The<00:18:08.710><c> little</c><00:18:08.990><c> section</c><00:18:09.329><c> at</c><00:18:09.549><c> the</c><00:18:09.769><c> end</c>

00:18:09.990 --> 00:18:13.269
from<00:18:10.269><c> 33</c><00:18:10.950><c> to</c><00:18:11.190><c> 41</c><00:18:11.750><c> is</c><00:18:12.069><c> chopped</c><00:18:12.349><c> up.</c>

00:18:13.450 --> 00:18:14.829
The<00:18:13.730><c> sections</c><00:18:14.049><c> are</c><00:18:14.349><c> smaller.</c>

00:18:15.230 --> 00:18:17.230
The<00:18:15.490><c> pulse</c><00:18:16.029><c> increases.</c>

00:18:17.589 --> 00:18:19.029
And<00:18:17.869><c> we</c><00:18:18.069><c> seem</c><00:18:18.210><c> to</c><00:18:18.490><c> flip</c><00:18:18.750><c>-flop</c>

00:18:19.029 --> 00:18:20.630
from<00:18:19.269><c> one</c><00:18:19.529><c> condition</c><00:18:20.009><c> to</c><00:18:20.289><c> another,</c>

00:18:20.970 --> 00:18:22.130
from<00:18:21.130><c> blessing</c><00:18:21.490><c> to</c><00:18:21.750><c> cursing,</c>

00:18:22.190 --> 00:18:23.589
from<00:18:22.309><c> blessing</c><00:18:22.630><c> to</c><00:18:22.890><c> cursing,</c>

00:18:23.690 --> 00:18:25.509
from<00:18:24.009><c> the</c><00:18:24.250><c> people</c><00:18:24.650><c> who</c><00:18:24.869><c> are</c><00:18:25.150><c> humbled</c>

00:18:25.509 --> 00:18:27.369
to<00:18:25.890><c> the</c><00:18:26.109><c> rulers</c><00:18:26.509><c> who</c><00:18:26.809><c> are</c><00:18:27.049><c> humbled.</c>

00:18:27.369 --> 00:18:29.890
What's<00:18:28.529><c> this</c><00:18:28.690><c> all</c><00:18:28.869><c> about?</c>

00:18:30.690 --> 00:18:33.869
We've<00:18:31.069><c> suggested</c><00:18:31.450><c> it's</c><00:18:31.829><c> a</c><00:18:32.029><c> kind</c><00:18:32.210><c> of</c><00:18:32.549><c> historical</c><00:18:33.069><c> psalm.</c>

00:18:35.109 --> 00:18:36.410
Let's<00:18:35.269><c> go</c><00:18:35.470><c> back</c><00:18:35.690><c> and</c><00:18:35.890><c> analyze</c>

00:18:36.410 --> 00:18:39.569
where<00:18:36.769><c> these</c><00:18:37.269><c> occasions</c><00:18:38.029><c> may</c><00:18:38.549><c> be.</c>

00:18:39.829 --> 00:18:41.970
We<00:18:39.970><c> come</c><00:18:40.109><c> back</c><00:18:40.329><c> to</c><00:18:40.490><c> that</c><00:18:40.630><c> first</c><00:18:40.869><c> section</c>

00:18:43.589 --> 00:18:46.069
at<00:18:44.190><c> the</c><00:18:44.369><c> beginning</c><00:18:44.690><c> of</c><00:18:45.049><c> the</c><00:18:45.269><c> psalm.</c>

00:18:47.589 --> 00:18:48.910
What<00:18:47.730><c> does</c><00:18:47.890><c> this</c><00:18:48.069><c> remind</c><00:18:48.410><c> you</c><00:18:48.670><c> of?</c>

00:18:49.029 --> 00:18:53.009
And<00:18:49.190><c> what</c><00:18:49.329><c> did</c><00:18:49.470><c> those</c><00:18:49.809><c> other</c><00:18:50.869><c> occasions</c><00:18:51.670><c> remind</c><00:18:52.230><c> you</c><00:18:52.490><c> of?</c>

00:18:53.470 --> 00:18:55.390
Well,<00:18:53.609><c> there's</c><00:18:53.809><c> more</c><00:18:54.049><c> than</c><00:18:54.210><c> one</c><00:18:54.390><c> option.</c>

00:18:55.410 --> 00:18:57.049
We're<00:18:55.670><c> not</c><00:18:55.849><c> being</c><00:18:56.130><c> dogmatic</c><00:18:56.690><c> here</c>

00:18:57.049 --> 00:18:59.650
when<00:18:57.190><c> we</c><00:18:57.410><c> suggest</c><00:18:57.990><c> that</c><00:18:58.450><c> we</c><00:18:58.609><c> could</c><00:18:58.890><c> consider</c>

00:18:59.650 --> 00:19:02.490
this<00:19:00.329><c> experience</c><00:19:01.009><c> in</c><00:19:01.269><c> section</c><00:19:01.589><c> number</c><00:19:02.009><c> one,</c>

00:19:02.569 --> 00:19:03.990
beginning<00:19:02.890><c> in</c><00:19:03.130><c> verse</c><00:19:03.369><c> three,</c>

00:19:04.349 --> 00:19:06.390
to<00:19:04.529><c> perhaps</c><00:19:05.009><c> be</c><00:19:05.990><c> applicable</c>

00:19:06.390 --> 00:19:08.009
to<00:19:06.650><c> more</c><00:19:06.849><c> than</c><00:19:07.009><c> one</c><00:19:07.210><c> circumstance</c>

00:19:08.009 --> 00:19:10.349
in<00:19:08.650><c> Israel's</c><00:19:09.289><c> experience.</c>

00:19:11.109 --> 00:19:13.049
But<00:19:11.549><c> let's</c><00:19:12.049><c> consider</c><00:19:12.430><c> the</c><00:19:12.690><c> options</c>

00:19:13.049 --> 00:19:14.690
together<00:19:13.509><c> for</c><00:19:13.730><c> a</c><00:19:13.809><c> moment.</c>

00:19:15.049 --> 00:19:15.690
Verse<00:19:15.269><c> three,</c>

00:19:15.690 --> 00:19:17.109
He<00:19:15.829><c> gathered</c><00:19:16.150><c> them</c><00:19:16.349><c> out</c><00:19:16.450><c> of</c><00:19:16.569><c> the</c><00:19:16.769><c> lands</c>

00:19:17.109 --> 00:19:18.509
from<00:19:17.349><c> the</c><00:19:17.589><c> east</c><00:19:17.829><c> and</c><00:19:17.990><c> from</c><00:19:18.130><c> the</c><00:19:18.309><c> west,</c>

00:19:18.529 --> 00:19:20.410
from<00:19:18.690><c> the</c><00:19:18.829><c> north</c><00:19:19.049><c> and</c><00:19:19.109><c> from</c><00:19:19.309><c> the</c><00:19:19.549><c> south.</c>

00:19:20.630 --> 00:19:22.630
Where<00:19:20.930><c> do</c><00:19:21.029><c> they</c><00:19:21.130><c> go</c><00:19:21.390><c> from</c><00:19:21.609><c> there?</c>

00:19:22.809 --> 00:19:24.410
They<00:19:23.009><c> go</c><00:19:23.150><c> into</c><00:19:23.309><c> the</c><00:19:23.490><c> wilderness.</c>

00:19:25.230 --> 00:19:28.269
Could<00:19:25.789><c> this</c><00:19:26.069><c> be</c><00:19:26.509><c> Israel</c><00:19:27.029><c> in</c><00:19:27.349><c> Egypt?</c>

00:19:29.049 --> 00:19:30.410
It<00:19:29.349><c> could</c><00:19:29.630><c> be,</c>

00:19:30.569 --> 00:19:33.130
because<00:19:30.970><c> indeed</c><00:19:31.369><c> they</c><00:19:31.589><c> went</c><00:19:31.769><c> into</c><00:19:32.009><c> a</c><00:19:32.190><c> wilderness.</c>

00:19:33.470 --> 00:19:35.890
But<00:19:33.609><c> when</c><00:19:33.809><c> He</c><00:19:33.970><c> took</c><00:19:34.170><c> them</c><00:19:34.369><c> out</c><00:19:34.549><c> of</c><00:19:34.769><c> Goshen,</c>

00:19:36.289 --> 00:19:38.869
did<00:19:36.509><c> He</c><00:19:36.769><c> also</c><00:19:37.170><c> bring</c><00:19:37.369><c> the</c><00:19:37.690><c> Jews</c><00:19:37.890><c> at</c><00:19:38.029><c> that</c><00:19:38.390><c> time,</c>

00:19:39.170 --> 00:19:41.190
scattered<00:19:39.569><c> all</c><00:19:39.910><c> over</c><00:19:40.130><c> Egypt</c><00:19:40.509><c> from</c><00:19:40.789><c> the</c><00:19:40.970><c> north,</c>

00:22:22.490 --> 00:22:24.609
It<00:22:22.650><c> was</c><00:22:22.890><c> a</c><00:22:22.950><c> city</c><00:22:23.349><c> of</c><00:22:23.650><c> God's</c><00:22:24.289><c> providing.</c>

00:22:25.009 --> 00:22:26.150
It<00:22:25.170><c> was</c><00:22:25.430><c> an</c><00:22:25.630><c> asylum.</c>

00:22:26.509 --> 00:22:28.509
True,<00:22:26.910><c> it</c><00:22:27.190><c> was</c><00:22:27.410><c> in</c><00:22:27.589><c> Egypt.</c>

00:22:28.569 --> 00:22:32.170
But<00:22:28.910><c> it</c><00:22:29.289><c> was</c><00:22:30.130><c> divinely</c><00:22:30.849><c> provided</c><00:22:31.450><c> for</c><00:22:31.769><c> them,</c>

00:22:32.349 --> 00:22:34.609
and<00:22:32.529><c> they</c><00:22:32.710><c> had</c><00:22:32.930><c> a</c><00:22:33.130><c> shepherd</c><00:22:33.369><c> over</c><00:22:33.609><c> them</c><00:22:33.809><c> like</c><00:22:34.069><c> Joseph,</c>

00:22:34.950 --> 00:22:37.769
who<00:22:35.190><c> fed</c><00:22:35.410><c> them</c><00:22:35.970><c> and</c><00:22:36.190><c> gave</c><00:22:36.470><c> them</c>

00:22:37.930 --> 00:22:39.410
great<00:22:38.250><c> blessings.</c>

00:22:39.589 --> 00:22:42.569
So<00:22:40.109><c> those</c><00:22:40.789><c> clues,</c><00:22:41.250><c> along</c><00:22:41.670><c> with</c><00:22:41.890><c> the</c><00:22:42.170><c> directions</c>

00:22:42.569 --> 00:22:46.450

00:22:46.450 --> 00:22:49.069
the<00:22:47.130><c> situation</c><00:22:47.710><c> of</c><00:22:47.970><c> the</c><00:22:48.150><c> Sinai</c><00:22:48.529><c> wilderness,</c>

00:22:49.470 --> 00:22:51.869

00:22:58.130 --> 00:23:00.390
And<00:22:58.289><c> then</c><00:22:58.609><c> verse</c><00:22:59.009><c> 10</c><00:22:59.390><c> fits</c><00:22:59.750><c> in</c>

00:23:00.390 --> 00:23:03.190
because<00:23:00.829><c> verse</c><00:23:01.170><c> 10</c><00:23:01.450><c> picks</c><00:23:01.750><c> up</c><00:23:02.329><c> years</c><00:23:02.730><c> later</c>

00:23:03.190 --> 00:23:05.309
the<00:23:03.690><c> condition</c><00:23:04.150><c> we</c><00:23:04.470><c> find</c><00:23:04.710><c> at</c><00:23:04.910><c> the</c><00:23:05.049><c> beginning</c>

00:23:10.069 --> 00:23:12.430
But<00:23:10.930><c> then</c><00:23:11.190><c> verse</c><00:23:11.390><c> 17</c><00:23:11.910><c> flows</c>

00:23:12.430 --> 00:23:14.289

00:23:14.309 --> 00:23:15.589
What<00:23:14.430><c> does</c><00:23:14.569><c> this</c><00:23:14.789><c> remind</c><00:23:15.089><c> you</c><00:23:15.309><c> of?</c>

00:23:15.869 --> 00:23:17.650
Let's<00:23:16.029><c> look</c><00:23:16.250><c> at</c><00:23:16.349><c> it</c><00:23:16.549><c> carefully.</c>

00:23:18.150 --> 00:23:19.690
Verse<00:23:18.250><c> 17.</c>

00:23:20.329 --> 00:23:22.549
Fools,<00:23:20.910><c> because</c><00:23:21.309><c> of</c><00:23:21.490><c> their</c><00:23:21.849><c> transgression</c>

00:23:25.230 --> 00:23:26.690
Now<00:23:25.430><c> there's</c><00:23:25.630><c> punishment.</c>

00:23:28.190 --> 00:23:30.789
Their<00:23:28.490><c> soul</c><00:23:28.970><c> abhorreth</c><00:23:29.730><c> all</c><00:23:30.049><c> manner</c><00:23:30.289><c> of</c><00:23:30.529><c> meat.</c>

00:23:34.250 --> 00:23:36.069
They're<00:23:34.569><c> about</c><00:23:34.809><c> to</c><00:23:35.069><c> die.</c>

00:23:36.609 --> 00:23:37.549
Then<00:23:36.910><c> verse</c><00:23:37.130><c> 19,</c>

00:23:37.549 --> 00:23:40.329

00:23:43.069 --> 00:23:45.150
So<00:23:43.349><c> far,</c><00:23:43.809><c> that</c><00:23:44.049><c> could</c><00:23:44.210><c> be</c><00:23:44.549><c> generalized</c>

The<00:24:08.309><c> circumstance</c><00:24:09.069><c> seems</c><00:24:09.430><c> to</c><00:24:09.809><c> require</c>

00:24:30.809 --> 00:24:32.329

00:24:32.329 --> 00:24:33.690

00:24:59.750 --> 00:25:01.490

00:45:26.050 --> 00:45:26.829

of<00:45:45.349><c> life,</c>

00:45:47.050 --> 00:45:49.449
God<00:45:47.349><c> works</c><00:45:47.909><c> through</c><00:45:48.190><c> the</c><00:45:48.489><c> storm,</c>

00:45:49.469 --> 00:45:51.050
God<00:45:49.769><c> brings</c><00:45:50.170><c> about</c><00:45:50.710><c> the</c>

His<00:45:53.650><c> setting</c>

God<00:46:03.630><c> redeems</c><00:46:04.409><c> in</c><00:46:04.889><c> a</c><00:46:05.110><c> storm.</c>

00:46:06.969 --> 00:46:07.570

The<00:46:15.570><c> storm</c><00:46:15.909><c> isn't</c><00:46:16.230><c> pleasant.</c>

00:46:17.250 --> 00:46:19.190
It's<00:46:17.710><c> a</c><00:46:17.869><c> rocky</c><00:46:18.190><c> road.</c>

00:46:19.590 --> 00:46:21.510
The<00:46:19.849><c> blasting</c><00:46:20.369><c> wind,</c><00:46:20.829><c> the</c><00:46:21.150><c> darkness,</c>

00:46:29.489 --> 00:46:30.730
They<00:46:29.570><c> go</c><00:46:29.829><c> down</c><00:46:30.150><c> to</c><00:46:30.329><c> the</c><00:46:30.449><c> bottom,</c>

00:46:35.670 --> 00:46:37.489
Their<00:46:35.969><c> senses</c><00:46:36.469><c> are</c>

That's<00:46:39.150><c> a</c><00:46:39.210><c> perfect</c><00:46:39.750><c> picture</c><00:46:40.210><c> of</c><00:46:40.550><c> all</c><00:46:40.809><c> of</c><00:46:40.889><c> us</c>

00:46:41.050 --> 00:46:41.909
in<00:46:41.369><c> despair</c>

00:46:41.909 --> 00:46:44.730
in<00:46:42.829><c> the</c><00:46:42.969><c> midst</c><00:46:43.130><c> of</c><00:46:43.309><c> our</c><00:46:43.590><c> trials,</c><00:46:44.429><c> like</c>

00:46:49.050 --> 00:46:50.789
And<00:46:49.309><c> it's</c><00:46:49.590><c> night,</c><00:46:50.170><c> and</c><00:46:50.289><c> the</c><00:46:50.429><c> ship</c><00:46:50.590><c> is</c>

00:46:52.690 --> 00:46:54.929
with<00:46:52.949><c> it,</c><00:46:53.789><c> and</c><00:46:53.989><c> the</c><00:46:54.110><c> masks</c><00:46:54.409><c> are</c><00:46:54.610><c> being</c>

00:46:58.949 --> 00:47:01.250
But<00:46:59.190><c> in</c><00:46:59.329><c> each</c><00:46:59.570><c> case,</c><00:46:59.989><c> the</c><00:47:00.170><c> storm</c><00:47:00.409><c> is</c><00:47:00.710><c> designed</c>

00:47:01.250 --> 00:47:02.710
to<00:47:02.030><c> illustrate</c>

00:47:02.710 --> 00:47:04.769
and<00:47:03.050><c> build</c><00:47:03.369><c> confidence</c><00:47:03.929><c> in</c><00:47:04.150><c> ourselves</c>

00:47:04.769 --> 00:47:06.769
that<00:47:05.329><c> it</c><00:47:05.590><c> is</c><00:47:06.050><c> in</c>
