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 — David, my — and what happens in the verse to me, tumultuous pit, feet, rock, goings, 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. וַיַּעֲלֵ֤נִי ׀ מִבּ֥וֹר שָׁאוֹן֮ מִטִּ֪יט הַיָּ֫וֵ֥ן וַיָּ֖קֶם עַל־סֶ֥לַע רַגְלַ֗י כּוֹנֵ֥ן אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ [He brought me up also out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established my goings.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.656/) ## 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:607 # text = וַיַּעֲלֵ֤נִי ׀ מִבּ֥וֹר שָׁאוֹן֮ מִטִּ֪יט הַיָּ֫וֵ֥ן וַיָּ֖קֶם עַל־סֶ֥לַע רַגְלַ֗י כּוֹנֵ֥ן אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ # verse = PSA.40.3 1-3 וַיַּעֲלֵ֤נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_40:3!1|MId=o190400030011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּעֲל עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he|Ref=PSA_40:3!1|MId=o190400030012|Strong=5927|Frame=AA:190400020031;A0:190400030013;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ֵ֤נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=brought.me.up|Ref=PSA_40:3!1|MId=o190400030013|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=PSA_40:3!1 5-6 מִבּ֥וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=PSA_40:3!2|MId=o190400030021|Strong=4480 6 בּ֥וֹר בּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=a.pit|Ref=PSA_40:3!2|MId=o190400030022|Strong=0953 7 שָׁאוֹן֮ שָׁאוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.roaring|Ref=PSA_40:3!3|MId=o190400030031|Strong=7588a 8-9 מִטִּ֪יט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=PSA_40:3!4|MId=o190400030041|Strong=4480 9 טִּ֪יט טִיט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 conj _ Gloss=the.mud|Ref=PSA_40:3!4|MId=o190400030042|Strong=2916 10-11 הַיָּ֫וֵ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=PSA_40:3!5|MId=o190400030051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 יָּ֫וֵ֥ן יָוֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.mire|Ref=PSA_40:3!5|MId=o190400030052|Strong=3121 12-13 וַיָּ֖קֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_40:3!6|MId=o190400030061|Strong=2050b 13 יָּ֖קֶם קוּם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.set|Ref=PSA_40:3!6|MId=o190400030062|Strong=6965|Frame=AA:190400020031;A0:190400030091;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_40:3!7|MId=o190400030071|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 15 סֶ֥לַע סֶלַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=a.rock|Ref=PSA_40:3!8|MId=o190400030081|Strong=5553 16-17 רַגְלַ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 רַגְל רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 13 obj _ Gloss=feet|Ref=PSA_40:3!9|MId=o190400030091|Strong=7272 17 ַ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_40:3!9|MId=o190400030092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 18 כּוֹנֵ֥ן כּוּן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POLEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.established|Ref=PSA_40:3!10|MId=o190400030101|Strong=3559|Frame=A0:190400020031;A1:190400030111;|Type=qatal 19-20 אֲשֻׁרָֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֲשֻׁר אֲשׁוּר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=steps|Ref=PSA_40:3!11|MId=o190400030111|Strong=0838 20 ָֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_40:3!11|MId=o190400030112|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=PSA_40:3!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעֲל *he* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ֵנִי *brought me up* | | | | | יָּקֶם *he set* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | רַגְל *feet* | | | | | כּוֹנֵן *he established* | qatal · polel | | אֲשֻׁר *steps* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
