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 — eyes, God — and what happens in the verse, 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. הִנֵּ֨ה כְעֵינֵ֪י עֲבָדִ֡ים אֶל־יַ֤ד אֲ‍ֽדוֹנֵיהֶ֗ם כְּעֵינֵ֣י שִׁפְחָה֮ אֶל־יַ֪ד גְּבִ֫רְתָּ֥הּ כֵּ֣ן עֵ֭ינֵינוּ אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ עַ֝֗ד שֶׁיְּחָנֵּֽנוּ׃ [Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes look unto the LORD our God, until He be gracious unto us.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2371/) ## 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:2224 # text = הִנֵּ֨ה כְעֵינֵ֪י עֲבָדִ֡ים אֶל־יַ֤ד אֲ‍ֽדוֹנֵיהֶ֗ם כְּעֵינֵ֣י שִׁפְחָה֮ אֶל־יַ֪ד גְּבִ֫רְתָּ֥הּ כֵּ֣ן עֵ֭ינֵינוּ אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ עַ֝֗ד שֶׁיְּחָנֵּֽנוּ׃ # verse = PSA.123.2 1 הִנֵּ֨ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 23 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=PSA_123:2!1|MId=o191230020011|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 2-3 כְעֵינֵ֪י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 כְ כְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=PSA_123:2!2|MId=o191230020021|Strong=3509a 3 עֵינֵ֪י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 16 obl _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=PSA_123:2!2|MId=o191230020022|Strong=5869 4 עֲבָדִ֡ים עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.slaves|Ref=PSA_123:2!3|MId=o191230020031|Strong=5650 5 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=[which.are].to|Ref=PSA_123:2!4|MId=o191230020041|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 6 יַ֤ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=PSA_123:2!5|MId=o191230020051|Strong=3027 7-8 אֲ‍ֽדוֹנֵיהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֲ‍ֽדוֹנֵי אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.master(s)|Ref=PSA_123:2!6|MId=o191230020061|Strong=0113 8 הֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=PSA_123:2!6|MId=o191230020062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9-10 כְּעֵינֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=PSA_123:2!7|MId=o191230020071|Strong=3509a 10 עֵינֵ֣י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 3 conj _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=PSA_123:2!7|MId=o191230020072|Strong=5869 11 שִׁפְחָה֮ שִׁפְחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.female.slave|Ref=PSA_123:2!8|MId=o191230020081|Strong=8198 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=[which.are].to|Ref=PSA_123:2!9|MId=o191230020091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13 יַ֪ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=the.hand|Ref=PSA_123:2!10|MId=o191230020101|Strong=3027 14-15 גְּבִ֫רְתָּ֥הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 גְּבִ֫רְתּ גְּבֶרֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=her.mistress|Ref=PSA_123:2!11|MId=o191230020111|Strong=1404 15 ָ֥הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=PSA_123:2!11|MId=o191230020112|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 16 כֵּ֣ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 23 parataxis _ Gloss=so|Ref=PSA_123:2!12|MId=o191230020121|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 17-18 עֵ֭ינֵינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 עֵ֭ינֵי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 16 nsubj _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=PSA_123:2!13|MId=o191230020131|Strong=5869 18 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=PSA_123:2!13|MId=o191230020132|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 19 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=[are].to|Ref=PSA_123:2!14|MId=o191230020141|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 20 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=PSA_123:2!15|MId=o191230020151|Strong=3068 21-22 אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אֱלֹהֵ֑י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=PSA_123:2!16|MId=o191230020161|Strong=0430 22 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=PSA_123:2!16|MId=o191230020162|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 23 עַ֝֗ד עַד ADP _ _ 0 root _ Gloss=until|Ref=PSA_123:2!17|MId=o191230020171|Strong=5704 24-26 שֶׁיְּחָנֵּֽנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 שֶׁ שֶׁ SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=PSA_123:2!18|MId=o191230020181|Strong=7578a|Type=relative 25 יְּחָנּ חָנַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 23 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=PSA_123:2!18|MId=o191230020182|Strong=2603|Frame=A0:191230020151;A1:191230020183;|Type=yiqtol 26 ֵֽנוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 25 obj _ Gloss=will.show.favor.to.us|Ref=PSA_123:2!18|MId=o191230020183|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=PSA_123:2!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יְּחָנּ *he* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ֵֽנוּ *will show favor to us* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
