13 For great is thy mercy toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from [b]the lowest grave.
14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have [c]sought my soul, and have not set thee before them.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 (B)Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
