# Psalms 143:10 תְּהִלִּים

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** you, good spirit, Thy · **What happens:** teach, do, be, let, lead, will · **To what, where:** me, will, God, even land

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 143:10 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). 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, good spirit, Thy — and what happens in the verse to me, will, God, even land, 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.

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.

## Pragmatics {#pragmatics}

<!-- sa -->
- form: command
- act: request
- voice: character
- speech: inside a quote begun earlier
- negation: no

<!-- .fr -->
| verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| לַמְּד *teach* | imperative · piel |  | ֵנִי *me* |  |  |
| עֲשׂוֹת *do* | infinitive construct · qal |  | רְצוֹנ *will* |  |  |
| תַּנְח *may* | yiqtol · hiphil | ֵנִי *it lead me* |  |  | רוּח *spirit* |

<!-- .note -->
MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

## The Targum {#onkelos}

<!-- .varc dir=rtl lang=arc -->
אַלֵף יָתִי לְמֶעְבַּד רְעוּתָךְ אֲרוּם אַנְתְּ אֱלָהִי רוּחַ קוּדְשָׁךְ טָבָא תְּדַבֵּר יָתִי בְּאַרְעָא תְּרִיץ:
