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 — I — and what happens in the verse to refuge, 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. זָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְה֫וָ֥ה אָ֭מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י חֶ֝לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּים׃ [I have cried unto Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2582/) ## 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:2417 # text = זָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְה֫וָ֥ה אָ֭מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י חֶ֝לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּים׃ # verse = PSA.142.6 1 זָעַ֥קְתִּי זָעַק VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.cry.out|Ref=PSA_142:6!1|MId=o191420060011|Strong=2199|Frame=A0:191420010022;|Type=qatal 2-3 אֵלֶ֗יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אֵלֶ֗י אֶל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_142:6!2|MId=o191420060021|Strong=0413 3 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_142:6!2|MId=o191420060022|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 4 יְה֫וָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 1 parataxis _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=PSA_142:6!3|MId=o191420060031|Strong=3068 5 אָ֭מַרְתִּי אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 parataxis _ Gloss=I.say|Ref=PSA_142:6!4|MId=o191420060041|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:191420010022;|Type=qatal 6 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_142:6!5|MId=o191420060051|Strong=0859|Type=personal 7-8 מַחְסִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 מַחְס מַחְסֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 ccomp _ Gloss=refuge|Ref=PSA_142:6!6|MId=o191420060061|Strong=4268 8 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].my|Ref=PSA_142:6!6|MId=o191420060062|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 9-10 חֶ֝לְקִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 חֶ֝לְק חֵלֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 parataxis _ Gloss=portion|Ref=PSA_142:6!7|MId=o191420060071|Strong=2506 10 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_142:6!7|MId=o191420060072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 11-12 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_142:6!8|MId=o191420060081|Strong=0871a 12 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=PSA_142:6!8|MId=o191420060082|Strong=0776 13-14 הַֽחַיִּים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=PSA_142:6!9|MId=o191420060091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 חַיִּים חַי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.living|Ref=PSA_142:6!9|MId=o191420060092|Strong=2416a|Type=adjective 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=PSA_142:6!9 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | זָעַקְתִּי *I cry out* | qatal · qal | | | | | | אָמַרְתִּי *I say* | qatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
