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 — Ascents — and what happens in the verse to mount, 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. שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹתהַבֹּטְחִ֥ים בַּיהוָ֑ה כְּֽהַר־צִיּ֥וֹן לֹא־יִ֝מּ֗וֹט לְעוֹלָ֥ם יֵשֵֽׁב׃ [A Song of Ascents.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2382/) [They that trust in the LORD are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2383/) ## 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.
