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 — father, LORD, compassion — and what happens in the verse to compassion, LORD, 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. כְּרַחֵ֣ם אָ֭ב עַל־בָּנִ֑ים רִחַ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַל־יְרֵאָֽיו׃ [Like as a father hath compassion upon his children, so hath the LORD compassion upon them that fear Him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1813/) ## 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:1685 # text = כְּרַחֵ֣ם אָ֭ב עַל־בָּנִ֑ים רִחַ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַל־יְרֵאָֽיו׃ # verse = PSA.103.13 1-2 כְּרַחֵ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=as|Ref=PSA_103:13!1|MId=o191030130011|Strong=3509a 2 רַחֵ֣ם רָחַם VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 6 advcl _ Gloss=has.compassion|Ref=PSA_103:13!1|MId=o191030130012|Strong=7355|Frame=A0:191030130021;|Type=infinitive_construct 3 אָ֭ב אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=a.father|Ref=PSA_103:13!2|MId=o191030130021|Strong=0001 4 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_103:13!3|MId=o191030130031|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 5 בָּנִ֑ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=children|Ref=PSA_103:13!4|MId=o191030130041|Strong=1121 6 רִחַ֥ם רָחַם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.has.compassion|Ref=PSA_103:13!5|MId=o191030130051|Strong=7355|Frame=A0:191030130061;|Type=qatal 7 יְ֝הוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=PSA_103:13!6|MId=o191030130061|Strong=3068 8 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_103:13!7|MId=o191030130071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 יְרֵאָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 יְרֵאָֽי יָרֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=[those].fearing|Ref=PSA_103:13!8|MId=o191030130081|Strong=3373|Type=adjective 10 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=him|Ref=PSA_103:13!8|MId=o191030130082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 10 punct _ Ref=PSA_103:13!8 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רַחֵם *has compassion* | infinitive construct · piel | אָב *a father* | | | | | רִחַם *he has compassion* | qatal · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
