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, ye — and what happens in the verse, 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. מִזְמ֗וֹר לְדָ֫וִ֥דהָב֣וּ לַֽ֭יהוָה בְּנֵ֣י אֵלִ֑ים הָב֥וּ לַ֝יהוָ֗ה כָּב֥וֹד וָעֹֽז׃ [A Psalm of David.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.420/) [Ascribe unto the LORD, O ye sons of might, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.421/) ## 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.
