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 — ye, servants — and what happens in the verse to LORD, house, 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 הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹתהִנֵּ֤ה ׀ בָּרֲכ֣וּ אֶת־יְ֭הוָה כָּל־עַבְדֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הָעֹמְדִ֥ים בְּבֵית־יְ֝הוָ֗ה בַּלֵּילֽוֹת׃ [A Song of Ascents.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2454/) [Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, that stand in the house of the LORD in the night seasons.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2455/) ## 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:2297 # text = שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹתהִנֵּ֤ה ׀ בָּרֲכ֣וּ אֶת־יְ֭הוָה כָּל־עַבְדֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הָעֹמְדִ֥ים בְּבֵית־יְ֝הוָ֗ה בַּלֵּילֽוֹת׃ # verse = PSA.134.1 1 שִׁ֗יר שִׁיר NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=the.song|Ref=PSA_134:1!1|MId=o191340010011|Strong=7892 2-4 הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹתהִנֵּ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=PSA_134:1!2|MId=o191340010021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 מַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת מַעֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 1 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.ascents|Ref=PSA_134:1!2|MId=o191340010022|Strong=4609 4 הִנֵּ֤ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 9 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=PSA_134:1!3|MId=o191340010031|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 5 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 4 punct _ Ref=PSA_134:1!3 6 בָּרֲכ֣וּ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 9 parataxis _ Gloss=bless|Ref=PSA_134:1!4|MId=o191340010041|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:191340010081;A1:191340010061;|Type=imperative 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=PSA_134:1!5|MId=o191340010051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 8 יְ֭הוָה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=PSA_134:1!6|MId=o191340010061|Strong=3068 9 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=O.all|Ref=PSA_134:1!7|MId=o191340010071|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 10 עַבְדֵ֣י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.servants|Ref=PSA_134:1!8|MId=o191340010081|Strong=5650 11 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=PSA_134:1!9|MId=o191340010091|Strong=3068 12-13 הָעֹמְדִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=PSA_134:1!10|MId=o191340010101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 עֹמְדִ֥ים עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 9 appos _ Gloss=stand|Ref=PSA_134:1!10|MId=o191340010102|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:191340010081;|Type=participle_active 14-15 בְּבֵית־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_134:1!11|MId=o191340010111|Strong=0871a 15 בֵית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=PSA_134:1!11|MId=o191340010112|Strong=1004 16 יְ֝הוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=PSA_134:1!12|MId=o191340010121|Strong=3068 17-19 בַּלֵּילֽוֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_134:1!13|MId=o191340010131|Strong=0871a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PSA_134:1!13|MId=o191340010131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 לֵּילֽוֹת לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=nights|Ref=PSA_134:1!13|MId=o191340010132|Strong=3915 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=PSA_134:1!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָּרֲכוּ *bless* | imperative · piel | עַבְדֵי *the servants* | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | עֹמְדִים *stand* | participle active · qal | עַבְדֵי *the servants* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
