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 — steps, our — and what happens in the verse to us, eyes, earth, 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. אַ֭שֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּ֣ה סְבָב֑וּנוּ עֵינֵיהֶ֥ם יָ֝שִׁ֗יתוּ לִנְט֥וֹת בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ [At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.206/) ## 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:182 # text = אַ֭שֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּ֣ה סְבָב֑וּנוּ עֵינֵיהֶ֥ם יָ֝שִׁ֗יתוּ לִנְט֥וֹת בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ # verse = PSA.17.11 1-2 אַ֭שֻּׁרֵינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 אַ֭שֻּׁרֵי אַשּׁוּר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 4 obl _ Gloss=steps|Ref=PSA_17:11!1|MId=o190170110011|Strong=0838 2 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=PSA_17:11!1|MId=o190170110012|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 3 עַתָּ֣ה עַתָּה ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=now|Ref=PSA_17:11!2|MId=o190170110021|Strong=6258 4-5 סְבָב֑וּנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 סְבָב֑וּ סָבַב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they|Ref=PSA_17:11!4|MId=o190170110041|Strong=5437|Frame=A0:190170090021;A1:190170110042;|Type=qatal 5 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 obj _ Gloss=have.surrounded.us|Ref=PSA_17:11!4|MId=o190170110042|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 6-7 עֵינֵיהֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 עֵינֵי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 8 obj _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=PSA_17:11!5|MId=o190170110051|Strong=5869 7 הֶ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=PSA_17:11!5|MId=o190170110052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 8 יָ֝שִׁ֗יתוּ שִׁית VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 parataxis _ Gloss=they.set|Ref=PSA_17:11!6|MId=o190170110061|Strong=7896|Frame=A1:190170110051;A0:190170090021;|Type=yiqtol 9-10 לִנְט֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_17:11!7|MId=o190170110071|Strong=3807a 10 נְט֥וֹת נָטָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 advcl _ Gloss=bend.down|Ref=PSA_17:11!7|MId=o190170110072|Strong=5186|Frame=A0:190170090021;A1:190170010022;|Type=infinitive_construct 11-13 בָּאָֽרֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_17:11!8|MId=o190170110081|Strong=0871a 12 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PSA_17:11!8|MId=o190170110081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=ground|Ref=PSA_17:11!8|MId=o190170110082|Strong=0776 14 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 13 punct _ Ref=PSA_17:11!8 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | סְבָבוּ *they* | qatal · qal | | נוּ *have surrounded us* | | | | יָשִׁיתוּ *they set* | yiqtol · qal | | עֵינֵי *eyes* | | | | נְטוֹת *bend down* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
