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, LORD, thou — and what happens in the verse to way, thee, land, wicked, 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. קַוֵּ֤ה אֶל־יְהוָ֨ה ׀ וּשְׁמֹ֬ר דַּרְכּ֗וֹ וִֽ֭ירוֹמִמְךָ לָרֶ֣שֶׁת אָ֑רֶץ בְּהִכָּרֵ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּרְאֶֽה׃ [Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.607/) ## 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:561 # text = קַוֵּ֤ה אֶל־יְהוָ֨ה ׀ וּשְׁמֹ֬ר דַּרְכּ֗וֹ וִֽ֭ירוֹמִמְךָ לָרֶ֣שֶׁת אָ֑רֶץ בְּהִכָּרֵ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּרְאֶֽה׃ # verse = PSA.37.34 1 קַוֵּ֤ה קָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=wait|Ref=PSA_37:34!1|MId=o190370340011|Strong=6960|Frame=A0:190370320033;|Type=imperative 2 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_37:34!2|MId=o190370340021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 3 יְהוָ֨ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 1 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=PSA_37:34!3|MId=o190370340031|Strong=3068 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=PSA_37:34!3 5-6 וּשְׁמֹ֬ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_37:34!4|MId=o190370340041|Strong=2050b 6 שְׁמֹ֬ר שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=keep|Ref=PSA_37:34!4|MId=o190370340042|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:190370320033;A1:190370340051;|Type=imperative 7-8 דַּרְכּ֗וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 דַּרְכּ דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=way|Ref=PSA_37:34!5|MId=o190370340051|Strong=1870 8 ֗וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PSA_37:34!5|MId=o190370340052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 9-11 וִֽ֭ירוֹמִמְךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וִֽ֭ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_37:34!6|MId=o190370340061|Strong=2050b 10 ירוֹמִמ רוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POLEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=PSA_37:34!6|MId=o190370340062|Strong=7311|Frame=A0:190370340031;A1:190370340063;|Type=yiqtol 11 ְךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=will.exalt.you|Ref=PSA_37:34!6|MId=o190370340063|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12-13 לָרֶ֣שֶׁת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_37:34!7|MId=o190370340071|Strong=3807a 13 רֶ֣שֶׁת יָרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 10 advcl _ Gloss=possess|Ref=PSA_37:34!7|MId=o190370340072|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:190370320033;A1:190370340081;|Type=infinitive_construct 14 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=[the].land|Ref=PSA_37:34!8|MId=o190370340081|Strong=0776 15-16 בְּהִכָּרֵ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=PSA_37:34!9|MId=o190370340091|Strong=0871a 16 הִכָּרֵ֖ת כָּרַת VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 18 advcl _ Gloss=are.cut.off|Ref=PSA_37:34!9|MId=o190370340092|Strong=3772|Frame=A1:190370340101;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 רְשָׁעִ֣ים רָשָׁע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 nsubj _ Gloss=wicked.[people]|Ref=PSA_37:34!10|MId=o190370340101|Strong=7563|Type=adjective 18 תִּרְאֶֽה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.see|Ref=PSA_37:34!11|MId=o190370340111|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:190370320033;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=PSA_37:34!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | קַוֵּה *wait* | imperative · piel | | | | | | שְׁמֹר *keep* | imperative · qal | | דַּרְכּ *way* | | | | ירוֹמִמ *he* | yiqtol · polel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ְךָ *will exalt you* | | | | רֶשֶׁת *possess* | infinitive construct · qal | | אָרֶץ *\[the\] land* | | | | הִכָּרֵת *are cut off* | infinitive construct · niphal | | רְשָׁעִים *wicked \[people\]* | | | | תִּרְאֶֽה *you will see* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
