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 — kings, rulers — and what happens in the verse to counsel, 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. יִ֥תְיַצְּב֨וּ ׀ מַלְכֵי־אֶ֗רֶץ וְרוֹזְנִ֥ים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָ֑חַד עַל־יְ֝הוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹ׃ [The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.8/) ## 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:7 # text = יִ֥תְיַצְּב֨וּ ׀ מַלְכֵי־אֶ֗רֶץ וְרוֹזְנִ֥ים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָ֑חַד עַל־יְ֝הוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹ׃ # verse = PSA.2.2 1 יִ֥תְיַצְּב֨וּ יָצַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.take.their.stand|Ref=PSA_2:2!1|MId=o190020020011|Strong=3320|Frame=A0:190020020021;|Type=yiqtol 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=PSA_2:2!1 3 מַלְכֵי־ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 nsubj _ Gloss=[the].kings|Ref=PSA_2:2!2|MId=o190020020021|Strong=4428|SpaceAfter=No 4 אֶ֗רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].earth|Ref=PSA_2:2!3|MId=o190020020031|Strong=0776 5-6 וְרוֹזְנִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_2:2!4|MId=o190020020041|Strong=2050b 6 רוֹזְנִ֥ים רָזַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 7 nsubj _ Gloss=rulers|Ref=PSA_2:2!4|MId=o190020020042|Strong=7336|Type=participle_active 7 נֽוֹסְדוּ־ יָסַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=they.seat.themselves|Ref=PSA_2:2!5|MId=o190020020051|Strong=3245a|Frame=A0:190020020042;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 8 יָ֑חַד יַחַד ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=together|Ref=PSA_2:2!6|MId=o190020020061|Strong=3162 9 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_2:2!7|MId=o190020020071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 10 יְ֝הוָה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=PSA_2:2!8|MId=o190020020081|Strong=3068 11-12 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_2:2!9|MId=o190020020091|Strong=2050b 12 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_2:2!9|MId=o190020020092|Strong=5921 13-14 מְשִׁיחֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מְשִׁיח מָשִׁיחַ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=his|Ref=PSA_2:2!10|MId=o190020020101|Strong=4899|Type=adjective 14 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=anointed|Ref=PSA_2:2!10|MId=o190020020102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=PSA_2:2!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִתְיַצְּבוּ *they take their stand* | yiqtol · hithpael | מַלְכֵי־ *\[the\] kings* | | | | | נֽוֹסְדוּ־ *they seat themselves* | qatal · niphal | רוֹזְנִים *rulers* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
