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 — I, me — and what happens in the verse to refuge, thee, me, righteousness, 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. בְּךָ֖ יְהוָ֣ה חָ֭סִיתִי אַל־אֵב֣וֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָ֑ם בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֥ פַלְּטֵֽנִי׃ [In thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Thy righteousness.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.448/) ## 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:407 # text = בְּךָ֖ יְהוָ֣ה חָ֭סִיתִי אַל־אֵב֣וֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָ֑ם בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֥ פַלְּטֵֽנִי׃ # verse = PSA.31.2 1-2 בְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_31:2!1|MId=o190310020011|Strong=0871a 2 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_31:2!1|MId=o190310020012|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 3 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 parataxis _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=PSA_31:2!2|MId=o190310020021|Strong=3068 4 חָ֭סִיתִי חָסָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.have.taken.refuge|Ref=PSA_31:2!3|MId=o190310020031|Strong=2620|Frame=A0:190310010032;|Type=qatal 5 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=PSA_31:2!4|MId=o190310020041|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 6 אֵב֣וֹשָׁה בּוֹשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 parataxis _ Gloss=let.me.be.ashamed|Ref=PSA_31:2!5|MId=o190310020051|Strong=0954|Frame=A0:190310010032;|Type=cohortative 7-8 לְעוֹלָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=forever|Ref=PSA_31:2!6|MId=o190310020061|Strong=3807a 8 עוֹלָ֑ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=PSA_31:2!6|MId=o190310020062|Strong=5769 9-11 בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_31:2!7|MId=o190310020071|Strong=0871a 10 צִדְקָת צְדָקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=PSA_31:2!7|MId=o190310020072|Strong=6666 11 ְךָ֥ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_31:2!7|MId=o190310020073|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12-13 פַלְּטֵֽנִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 פַלְּט פָּלַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 4 parataxis _ Gloss=deliver|Ref=PSA_31:2!8|MId=o190310020081|Strong=6403|Frame=A0:190310020021;A1:190310020082;|Type=imperative 13 ֵֽנִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=PSA_31:2!8|MId=o190310020082|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 14 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 13 punct _ Ref=PSA_31:2!8 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | חָסִיתִי *I have taken refuge* | qatal · qal | | | | | | **not** אֵבוֹשָׁה *let me be ashamed* | cohortative · qal | | | | | | פַלְּט *deliver* | imperative · piel | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | ֵֽנִי *me* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
