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, I, my — and what happens in the verse to prayer, ear, silence, tears, stranger, 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. שִֽׁמְעָ֥ה־תְפִלָּתִ֨י ׀ יְהוָ֡ה וְשַׁוְעָתִ֨י ׀ הַאֲזִינָה֮ אֶֽל־דִּמְעָתִ֗י אַֽל־תֶּ֫חֱרַ֥שׁ כִּ֤י גֵ֣ר אָנֹכִ֣י עִמָּ֑ךְ תּ֝וֹשָׁ֗ב כְּכָל־אֲבוֹתָֽי׃ [Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; keep not silence at my tears; for I am a stranger with Thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.651/) ## 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:603 # text = שִֽׁמְעָ֥ה־תְפִלָּתִ֨י ׀ יְהוָ֡ה וְשַׁוְעָתִ֨י ׀ הַאֲזִינָה֮ אֶֽל־דִּמְעָתִ֗י אַֽל־תֶּ֫חֱרַ֥שׁ כִּ֤י גֵ֣ר אָנֹכִ֣י עִמָּ֑ךְ תּ֝וֹשָׁ֗ב כְּכָל־אֲבוֹתָֽי׃ # verse = PSA.39.13 1-2 שִֽׁמְעָ֥ה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 שִֽׁמְע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=hear|Ref=PSA_39:13!1|MId=o190390130011|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:190390130031;A1:190390130021;|Type=imperative 2 ָ֥ה־ ה X _ _ 1 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=PSA_39:13!1|MId=o190390130012|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 3-4 תְפִלָּתִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 תְפִלָּת תְּפִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 obj _ Gloss=prayer|Ref=PSA_39:13!2|MId=o190390130021|Strong=8605 4 ִ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_39:13!2|MId=o190390130022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 4 punct _ Ref=PSA_39:13!2 6 יְהוָ֡ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 1 parataxis _ Gloss=O.Yahweh|Ref=PSA_39:13!3|MId=o190390130031|Strong=3068 7-9 וְשַׁוְעָתִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_39:13!4|MId=o190390130041|Strong=2050b 8 שַׁוְעָת שַׁוְעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=my.cry|Ref=PSA_39:13!4|MId=o190390130042|Strong=7775 9 ִ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=for.help|Ref=PSA_39:13!4|MId=o190390130043|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 10 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 9 punct _ Ref=PSA_39:13!4 11-12 הַאֲזִינָה֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַאֲזִינ אָזַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 conj _ Gloss=give|Ref=PSA_39:13!5|MId=o190390130051|Strong=0238|Frame=AA:190390130031;A0:190390130042;|Type=imperative 12 ָה֮ ה X _ _ 11 nmod _ Gloss=ear.to|Ref=PSA_39:13!5|MId=o190390130052|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 13 אֶֽל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_39:13!6|MId=o190390130061|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 דִּמְעָתִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 דִּמְעָת דִּמְעָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=tear[s]|Ref=PSA_39:13!7|MId=o190390130071|Strong=1832 15 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_39:13!7|MId=o190390130072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16 אַֽל־ אַל ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=PSA_39:13!8|MId=o190390130081|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 17 תֶּ֫חֱרַ֥שׁ חָרֵשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 parataxis _ Gloss=be.silent|Ref=PSA_39:13!9|MId=o190390130091|Strong=2790a|Frame=A0:190390130031;|Type=jussive 18 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=PSA_39:13!10|MId=o190390130101|Strong=3588 19 גֵ֣ר גֵּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 advcl _ Gloss=[am].a.sojourner|Ref=PSA_39:13!11|MId=o190390130111|Strong=1616 20 אָנֹכִ֣י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=PSA_39:13!12|MId=o190390130121|Strong=0595|Type=personal 21-22 עִמָּ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=PSA_39:13!13|MId=o190390130131|Strong=5973 22 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_39:13!13|MId=o190390130132|Strong=3509c|Type=pronominal 23 תּ֝וֹשָׁ֗ב תּוֹשָׁב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=a.resident.alien|Ref=PSA_39:13!14|MId=o190390130141|Strong=8453 24-25 כְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=PSA_39:13!15|MId=o190390130151|Strong=3509a 25 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=PSA_39:13!15|MId=o190390130152|Strong=3605 26-27 אֲבוֹתָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 אֲבוֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=ancestors|Ref=PSA_39:13!16|MId=o190390130161|Strong=0001 27 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_39:13!16|MId=o190390130162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=PSA_39:13!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שִֽׁמְע *hear* | imperative · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | תְפִלָּת *prayer* | | | | הַאֲזִינ *give* | imperative · hiphil | שַׁוְעָת *my cry* | | | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | | **not** תֶּחֱרַשׁ *be silent* | jussive · qal | יְהוָה *O Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
