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, me, I — and what happens in the verse to me, lovingkindness, Thee, way, soul, 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. הַשְׁמִ֘יעֵ֤נִי בַבֹּ֨קֶר ׀ חַסְדֶּךָ֮ כִּֽי־בְךָ֪ בָ֫טָ֥חְתִּי הוֹדִיעֵ֗נִי דֶּֽרֶךְ־ז֥וּ אֵלֵ֑ךְ כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֥אתִי נַפְשִֽׁי׃ [Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.2593/) ## 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:2427 # text = הַשְׁמִ֘יעֵ֤נִי בַבֹּ֨קֶר ׀ חַסְדֶּךָ֮ כִּֽי־בְךָ֪ בָ֫טָ֥חְתִּי הוֹדִיעֵ֗נִי דֶּֽרֶךְ־ז֥וּ אֵלֵ֑ךְ כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֥אתִי נַפְשִֽׁי׃ # verse = PSA.143.8 1-2 הַשְׁמִ֘יעֵ֤נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הַשְׁמִ֘יע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=make|Ref=PSA_143:8!1|MId=o191430080011|Strong=8085|Frame=AA:191430070031;A0:191430080012;A1:191430080031;|Type=imperative 2 ֵ֤נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 obj _ Gloss=me.hear|Ref=PSA_143:8!1|MId=o191430080012|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 3-5 בַבֹּ֨קֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_143:8!2|MId=o191430080021|Strong=0871a 4 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PSA_143:8!2|MId=o191430080021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 בֹּ֨קֶר בֹּקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=morning|Ref=PSA_143:8!2|MId=o191430080022|Strong=1242 6 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 5 punct _ Ref=PSA_143:8!2 7-8 חַסְדֶּךָ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 חַסְדּ חֶסֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 xcomp _ Gloss=loyalty|Ref=PSA_143:8!3|MId=o191430080031|Strong=2617 8 ֶךָ֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.covenant|Ref=PSA_143:8!3|MId=o191430080032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=PSA_143:8!4|MId=o191430080041|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 בְךָ֪ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_143:8!5|MId=o191430080051|Strong=0871a 11 ְךָ֪ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_143:8!5|MId=o191430080052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12 בָ֫טָ֥חְתִּי בָּטַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 advcl _ Gloss=I.have.trusted|Ref=PSA_143:8!6|MId=o191430080061|Strong=0982|Frame=A0:191430010022;|Type=qatal 13-14 הוֹדִיעֵ֗נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הוֹדִיע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=make|Ref=PSA_143:8!7|MId=o191430080071|Strong=3045|Frame=AA:191430070031;A0:191430080072;A1:191430080081;|Type=imperative 14 ֵ֗נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 obj _ Gloss=known.to.me|Ref=PSA_143:8!7|MId=o191430080072|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 15 דֶּֽרֶךְ־ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 xcomp _ Gloss=[the].way|Ref=PSA_143:8!8|MId=o191430080081|Strong=1870|SpaceAfter=No 16 ז֥וּ זוּ SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=PSA_143:8!9|MId=o191430080091|Strong=2098|Type=relative 17 אֵלֵ֑ךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 15 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.will.go|Ref=PSA_143:8!10|MId=o191430080101|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:191430010022;|Type=yiqtol 18 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=PSA_143:8!11|MId=o191430080111|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 אֵ֝לֶיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֵ֝לֶי אֶל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_143:8!12|MId=o191430080121|Strong=0413 20 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_143:8!12|MId=o191430080122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 21 נָשָׂ֥אתִי נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 advcl _ Gloss=I.lift.up|Ref=PSA_143:8!13|MId=o191430080131|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:191430010022;A1:191430080141;|Type=qatal 22-23 נַפְשִֽׁי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 21 obj _ Gloss=desire|Ref=PSA_143:8!14|MId=o191430080141|Strong=5315 23 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_143:8!14|MId=o191430080142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=PSA_143:8!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: speech with no frame - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הַשְׁמִיע *make* | imperative · hiphil | ֵנִי *me hear* | חַסְדּ *loyalty* | | | | בָטָחְתִּי *I have trusted* | qatal · qal | | | | | | הוֹדִיע *make* | imperative · hiphil | ֵנִי *known to me* | דֶּֽרֶךְ־ *\[the\] way* | | | | אֵלֵךְ *I will go* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | נָשָׂאתִי *I lift up* | qatal · qal | | נַפְשׁ *desire* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
