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 — wicked — and what happens in the verse to sword, bow, poor, such, way, 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. חֶ֤רֶב ׀ פָּֽתְח֣וּ רְשָׁעִים֮ וְדָרְכ֪וּ קַ֫שְׁתָּ֥ם לְ֭הַפִּיל עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְי֑וֹן לִ֝טְב֗וֹחַ יִשְׁרֵי־דָֽרֶךְ׃ [The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.587/) ## 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:541 # text = חֶ֤רֶב ׀ פָּֽתְח֣וּ רְשָׁעִים֮ וְדָרְכ֪וּ קַ֫שְׁתָּ֥ם לְ֭הַפִּיל עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְי֑וֹן לִ֝טְב֗וֹחַ יִשְׁרֵי־דָֽרֶךְ׃ # verse = PSA.37.14 1 חֶ֤רֶב חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=a.sword|Ref=PSA_37:14!1|MId=o190370140011|Strong=2719 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=PSA_37:14!1 3 פָּֽתְח֣וּ פָּתַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.have.drawn|Ref=PSA_37:14!2|MId=o190370140021|Strong=6605|Frame=A1:190370140011;A0:190370140031;|Type=qatal 4 רְשָׁעִים֮ רָשָׁע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 nsubj _ Gloss=wicked.[people]|Ref=PSA_37:14!3|MId=o190370140031|Strong=7563|Type=adjective 5-6 וְדָרְכ֪וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_37:14!4|MId=o190370140041|Strong=2050b 6 דָרְכ֪וּ דָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 3 conj _ Gloss=they.have.bent|Ref=PSA_37:14!4|MId=o190370140042|Strong=1869|Frame=A0:190370140031;A1:190370140051;|Type=qatal 7-8 קַ֫שְׁתָּ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 קַ֫שְׁתּ קֶשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=bow|Ref=PSA_37:14!5|MId=o190370140051|Strong=7198 8 ָ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=PSA_37:14!5|MId=o190370140052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9-10 לְ֭הַפִּיל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ֭ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_37:14!6|MId=o190370140061|Strong=3807a 10 הַפִּיל נָפַל VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 6 advcl _ Gloss=make.fall|Ref=PSA_37:14!6|MId=o190370140062|Strong=5307|Frame=AA:190370140031;A0:190370140071;190370140082;|Type=infinitive_construct 11 עָנִ֣י עָנִי ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=[the].poor|Ref=PSA_37:14!7|MId=o190370140071|Strong=6041|Type=adjective 12-13 וְאֶבְי֑וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=PSA_37:14!8|MId=o190370140081|Strong=2050b 13 אֶבְי֑וֹן אֶבְיוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=needy|Ref=PSA_37:14!8|MId=o190370140082|Strong=0034|Type=adjective 14-15 לִ֝טְב֗וֹחַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לִ֝ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_37:14!9|MId=o190370140091|Strong=3807a 15 טְב֗וֹחַ טָבַח VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 conj _ Gloss=slaughter|Ref=PSA_37:14!9|MId=o190370140092|Strong=2873|Frame=A0:190370140031;A1:190370140101;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 יִשְׁרֵי־ יָשָׁר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=[people].upright|Ref=PSA_37:14!10|MId=o190370140101|Strong=3477|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 17 דָֽרֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.way|Ref=PSA_37:14!11|MId=o190370140111|Strong=1870|SpaceAfter=No 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=PSA_37:14!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | פָּֽתְחוּ *they have drawn* | qatal · qal | רְשָׁעִים *wicked \[people\]* | חֶרֶב *a sword* | | | | דָרְכוּ *they have bent* | qatal · qal | רְשָׁעִים *wicked \[people\]* | קַשְׁתּ *bow* | | | | הַפִּיל *make fall* | infinitive construct · hiphil | עָנִי *\[the\] poor* + אֶבְיוֹן *needy* | | | רְשָׁעִים *wicked \[people\]* | | טְבוֹחַ *slaughter* | infinitive construct · qal | רְשָׁעִים *wicked \[people\]* | יִשְׁרֵי־ *\[people\] upright* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
