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 — you, creditor, strangers — and what happens in the verse to all, spoil, labour, 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. יְנַקֵּ֣שׁ נ֭וֹשֶׁה לְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֑וֹ וְיָבֹ֖זּוּ זָרִ֣ים יְגִיעֽוֹ׃ [Let the creditor distrain all that he hath; and let strangers make spoil of his labour.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2025/) ## 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:1890 # text = יְנַקֵּ֣שׁ נ֭וֹשֶׁה לְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֑וֹ וְיָבֹ֖זּוּ זָרִ֣ים יְגִיעֽוֹ׃ # verse = PSA.109.11 1 יְנַקֵּ֣שׁ נָקַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=may.he.strike|Ref=PSA_109:11!1|MId=o191090110011|Strong=5367|Frame=A0:191090110021;|Type=yiqtol 2 נ֭וֹשֶׁה נשׁא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 1 nsubj _ Gloss=a.creditor|Ref=PSA_109:11!2|MId=o191090110021|Strong=5378|Type=participle_active 3-4 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_109:11!3|MId=o191090110031|Strong=3807a 4 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=PSA_109:11!3|MId=o191090110032|Strong=3605 5 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=PSA_109:11!4|MId=o191090110041|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 ל֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=PSA_109:11!5|MId=o191090110051|Strong=3807a 7 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=him|Ref=PSA_109:11!5|MId=o191090110052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 וְיָבֹ֖זּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_109:11!6|MId=o191090110061|Strong=2050b 9 יָבֹ֖זּוּ בָּזַז VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=may.they.plunder|Ref=PSA_109:11!6|MId=o191090110062|Strong=0962|Frame=A0:191090110071;A1:191090110081;|Type=yiqtol 10 זָרִ֣ים זָר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 nsubj _ Gloss=strangers|Ref=PSA_109:11!7|MId=o191090110071|Strong=2114b|Type=adjective 11-12 יְגִיעֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 יְגִיע יְגִיעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=property|Ref=PSA_109:11!8|MId=o191090110081|Strong=3018 12 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PSA_109:11!8|MId=o191090110082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 12 punct _ Ref=PSA_109:11!8 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְנַקֵּשׁ *may he strike* | yiqtol · piel | נוֹשֶׁה *a creditor* | | | | | יָבֹזּוּ *may they plunder* | yiqtol · qal | זָרִים *strangers* | יְגִיע *property* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
