Psalms 10:9 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, the Targum, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/PSA.10.9/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Ketuvim](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/) / [Psalms](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/PSA/) / [chapter 10](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/PSA/10/) / 10:9 # Psalms 10:9 תְּהִלִּים **Who acts:** wicked · **What happens:** lie, catch, draw up · **To what, where:** wait, poor, net This is Psalms 10:9 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — wicked — and what happens in the verse to wait, poor, net, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 150 chapters of Psalms on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. יֶאֱרֹ֬ב בַּמִּסְתָּ֨ר ׀ כְּאַרְיֵ֬ה בְסֻכֹּ֗ה יֶ֭אֱרֹב לַחֲט֣וֹף עָנִ֑י יַחְטֹ֥ף עָ֝נִ֗י בְּמָשְׁכ֥וֹ בְרִשְׁתּֽוֹ׃ [He lieth in wait in a secret place as a lion in his lair, he lieth in wait to catch the poor; he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him up in his net.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.126/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:PSA:117 # text = יֶאֱרֹ֬ב בַּמִּסְתָּ֨ר ׀ כְּאַרְיֵ֬ה בְסֻכֹּ֗ה יֶ֭אֱרֹב לַחֲט֣וֹף עָנִ֑י יַחְטֹ֥ף עָ֝נִ֗י בְּמָשְׁכ֥וֹ בְרִשְׁתּֽוֹ׃ # verse = PSA.10.9 1 יֶאֱרֹ֬ב אָרַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.lies.in.wait|Ref=PSA_10:9!1|MId=o190100090011|Strong=0693|Frame=A0:190100040011;|Type=yiqtol 2-4 בַּמִּסְתָּ֨ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in.(the)|Ref=PSA_10:9!2|MId=o190100090021|Strong=0871a 3 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=secret|Ref=PSA_10:9!2|MId=o190100090021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 מִּסְתָּ֨ר מִסְתָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=PSA_10:9!2|MId=o190100090022|Strong=4565 5 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 4 punct _ Ref=PSA_10:9!2 6-7 כְּאַרְיֵ֬ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=PSA_10:9!3|MId=o190100090031|Strong=3509a 7 אַרְיֵ֬ה אַרְיֵה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=a.lion|Ref=PSA_10:9!3|MId=o190100090032|Strong=0738a 8-10 בְסֻכֹּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_10:9!4|MId=o190100090041|Strong=0871a 9 סֻכּ סֹךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 nmod _ Gloss=lair|Ref=PSA_10:9!4|MId=o190100090042|Strong=5520 10 ֹ֗ה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=PSA_10:9!4|MId=o190100090043|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11 יֶ֭אֱרֹב אָרַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=he.lies.in.wait|Ref=PSA_10:9!5|MId=o190100090051|Strong=0693|Frame=A0:190100040011;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 לַחֲט֣וֹף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_10:9!6|MId=o190100090061|Strong=3807a 13 חֲט֣וֹף חָטַף VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 advcl _ Gloss=seize|Ref=PSA_10:9!6|MId=o190100090062|Strong=2414|Frame=A0:190100040011;A1:190100090071;|Type=infinitive_construct 14 עָנִ֑י עָנִי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=[the].afflicted|Ref=PSA_10:9!7|MId=o190100090071|Strong=6041|Type=adjective 15 יַחְטֹ֥ף חָטַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=he.seizes|Ref=PSA_10:9!8|MId=o190100090081|Strong=2414|Frame=A0:190100040011;A1:190100090091;|Type=yiqtol 16 עָ֝נִ֗י עָנִי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=[the].afflicted|Ref=PSA_10:9!9|MId=o190100090091|Strong=6041|Type=adjective 17-19 בְּמָשְׁכ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=PSA_10:9!10|MId=o190100090101|Strong=0871a 18 מָשְׁכ מָשַׁךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 15 advcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=PSA_10:9!10|MId=o190100090102|Strong=4900|Frame=A0:190100040011;A1:190100090103;|Type=infinitive_construct 19 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=drags.[him].away|Ref=PSA_10:9!10|MId=o190100090103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20-22 בְרִשְׁתּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_10:9!11|MId=o190100090111|Strong=0871a 21 רִשְׁתּ רֶשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=net|Ref=PSA_10:9!11|MId=o190100090112|Strong=7568 22 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PSA_10:9!11|MId=o190100090113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=PSA_10:9!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֶאֱרֹב *he lies in wait* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יֶאֱרֹב *he lies in wait* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | חֲטוֹף *seize* | infinitive construct · qal | | עָנִי *\[the\] afflicted* | | | | יַחְטֹף *he seizes* | yiqtol · qal | | עָנִי *\[the\] afflicted* | | | | מָשְׁכ *he* | infinitive construct · qal | | וֹ *drags \[him\] away* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
