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, I, righteous, Thou, Thy — and what happens in the verse to soul, prison, thanks, persecutors, 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. ה֘וֹצִ֤יאָה מִמַּסְגֵּ֨ר ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְהוֹד֪וֹת אֶת־שְׁ֫מֶ֥ךָ בִּ֭י יַכְתִּ֣רוּ צַדִּיקִ֑ים כִּ֖י תִגְמֹ֣ל עָלָֽי׃ [Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Thy name; the righteous shall crown themselves because of me; for Thou wilt deal bountifully with me.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2584/) ## 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:2419 # text = ה֘וֹצִ֤יאָה מִמַּסְגֵּ֨ר ׀ נַפְשִׁי֮ לְהוֹד֪וֹת אֶת־שְׁ֫מֶ֥ךָ בִּ֭י יַכְתִּ֣רוּ צַדִּיקִ֑ים כִּ֖י תִגְמֹ֣ל עָלָֽי׃ # verse = PSA.142.8 1-2 ה֘וֹצִ֤יאָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 ה֘וֹצִ֤יא יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=bring|Ref=PSA_142:8!1|MId=o191420080011|Strong=3318|Frame=AA:191420060031;A0:191420080031;|Type=imperative 2 ָה ה X _ _ 1 nmod _ Gloss=out|Ref=PSA_142:8!1|MId=o191420080012|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 3-4 מִמַּסְגֵּ֨ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=PSA_142:8!2|MId=o191420080021|Strong=4480 4 מַּסְגֵּ֨ר מַסְגֵּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=prison|Ref=PSA_142:8!2|MId=o191420080022|Strong=4525 5 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 4 punct _ Ref=PSA_142:8!2 6-7 נַפְשִׁי֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 obj _ Gloss=self|Ref=PSA_142:8!3|MId=o191420080031|Strong=5315 7 ִי֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_142:8!3|MId=o191420080032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8-9 לְהוֹד֪וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_142:8!4|MId=o191420080041|Strong=3807a 9 הוֹד֪וֹת יָדָה VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 1 advcl _ Gloss=give.thanks.to|Ref=PSA_142:8!4|MId=o191420080042|Strong=3034|Frame=AA:191420010022;A0:191420080061;|Type=infinitive_construct 10 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=PSA_142:8!5|MId=o191420080051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 שְׁ֫מֶ֥ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 שְׁ֫מ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=PSA_142:8!6|MId=o191420080061|Strong=8034 12 ֶ֥ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_142:8!6|MId=o191420080062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 13-14 בִּ֭י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בִּ֭ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=PSA_142:8!7|MId=o191420080071|Strong=0871a 14 י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=PSA_142:8!7|MId=o191420080072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 15 יַכְתִּ֣רוּ כָּתַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.surround|Ref=PSA_142:8!8|MId=o191420080081|Strong=3803a|Frame=A0:191420080091;|Type=yiqtol 16 צַדִּיקִ֑ים צַדִּיק ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 nsubj _ Gloss=righteous.[people]|Ref=PSA_142:8!9|MId=o191420080091|Strong=6662|Type=adjective 17 כִּ֖י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=PSA_142:8!10|MId=o191420080101|Strong=3588 18 תִגְמֹ֣ל גָּמַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 advcl _ Gloss=you.deal.bountifully|Ref=PSA_142:8!11|MId=o191420080111|Strong=1580|Frame=A0:191420060031;|Type=yiqtol 19-20 עָלָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 עָל עַל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=towards|Ref=PSA_142:8!12|MId=o191420080121|Strong=5921 20 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=PSA_142:8!12|MId=o191420080122|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=PSA_142:8!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הוֹצִיא *bring* | imperative · hiphil | נַפְשׁ *self* | | | | | הוֹדוֹת *give thanks to* | infinitive construct · hiphil | שְׁמ *name* | | | | | יַכְתִּרוּ *they will surround* | yiqtol · hiphil | צַדִּיקִים *righteous \[people\]* | | | | | תִגְמֹל *you deal bountifully* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
