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 — and what happens in the verse to enemies, mercy, hands, soul, servant, 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. וּֽבְחַסְדְּךָ֮ תַּצְמִ֪ית אֹ֫יְבָ֥י וְֽ֭הַאֲבַדְתָּ כָּל־צֹרֲרֵ֣י נַפְשִׁ֑י כִּ֝֗י אֲנִ֣י עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃ [And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2597/) ## 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:2431 # text = וּֽבְחַסְדְּךָ֮ תַּצְמִ֪ית אֹ֫יְבָ֥י וְֽ֭הַאֲבַדְתָּ כָּל־צֹרֲרֵ֣י נַפְשִׁ֑י כִּ֝֗י אֲנִ֣י עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃ # verse = PSA.143.12 1-4 וּֽבְחַסְדְּךָ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_143:12!1|MId=o191430120011|Strong=2050b 2 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_143:12!1|MId=o191430120012|Strong=0871a 3 חַסְדּ חֶסֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=your.covenant|Ref=PSA_143:12!1|MId=o191430120013|Strong=2617 4 ְךָ֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=loyalty|Ref=PSA_143:12!1|MId=o191430120014|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5 תַּצְמִ֪ית צָמַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.destroy|Ref=PSA_143:12!2|MId=o191430120021|Strong=6789|Frame=AA:191430110031;A0:191430120031;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 אֹ֫יְבָ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֹ֫יְב אָיַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 5 obj _ Gloss=enemies|Ref=PSA_143:12!3|MId=o191430120031|Strong=0341|Type=participle_active 7 ָ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_143:12!3|MId=o191430120032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8-9 וְֽ֭הַאֲבַדְתָּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְֽ֭ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_143:12!4|MId=o191430120041|Strong=2050b 9 הַאֲבַדְתָּ אָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=you.will.destroy|Ref=PSA_143:12!4|MId=o191430120042|Strong=0006|Frame=AA:191430110031;A0:191430120061;|Type=weqatal 10 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=PSA_143:12!5|MId=o191430120051|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 11 צֹרֲרֵ֣י צָרַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.foes|Ref=PSA_143:12!6|MId=o191430120061|Strong=6887a|Type=participle_active 12-13 נַפְשִׁ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=my.life|Ref=PSA_143:12!7|MId=o191430120071|Strong=5315 13 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_143:12!7|MId=o191430120072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 כִּ֝֗י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=PSA_143:12!8|MId=o191430120081|Strong=3588 15 אֲנִ֣י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=PSA_143:12!9|MId=o191430120091|Strong=0589|Type=personal 16-17 עַבְדֶּֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עַבְדּ עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 parataxis _ Gloss=servant|Ref=PSA_143:12!10|MId=o191430120101|Strong=5650 17 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[am].your|Ref=PSA_143:12!10|MId=o191430120102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=PSA_143:12!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תַּצְמִית *you will destroy* | yiqtol · hiphil | אֹיְב *enemies* | | | | | הַאֲבַדְתָּ *you will destroy* | weqatal · hiphil | צֹרֲרֵי *the foes* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
