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, many — and what happens in the verse to new song, mouth, 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. וַיִּתֵּ֬ן בְּפִ֨י ׀ שִׁ֥יר חָדָשׁ֮ תְּהִלָּ֪ה לֵֽאלֹ֫הֵ֥ינוּ יִרְא֣וּ רַבִּ֣ים וְיִירָ֑אוּ וְ֝יִבְטְח֗וּ בַּיהוָֽה׃ [And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.657/) ## 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:608 # text = וַיִּתֵּ֬ן בְּפִ֨י ׀ שִׁ֥יר חָדָשׁ֮ תְּהִלָּ֪ה לֵֽאלֹ֫הֵ֥ינוּ יִרְא֣וּ רַבִּ֣ים וְיִירָ֑אוּ וְ֝יִבְטְח֗וּ בַּיהוָֽה׃ # verse = PSA.40.4 1-2 וַיִּתֵּ֬ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_40:4!1|MId=o190400040011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּתֵּ֬ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.put|Ref=PSA_40:4!1|MId=o190400040012|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:190400020031;A1:190400040031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-5 בְּפִ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_40:4!2|MId=o190400040021|Strong=0871a 4 פ פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=mouth|Ref=PSA_40:4!2|MId=o190400040022|Strong=6310 5 ִ֨י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_40:4!2|MId=o190400040023|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 6 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 5 punct _ Ref=PSA_40:4!2 7 שִׁ֥יר שִׁיר NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.song|Ref=PSA_40:4!3|MId=o190400040031|Strong=7892 8 חָדָשׁ֮ חָדָשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 amod _ Gloss=new|Ref=PSA_40:4!4|MId=o190400040041|Strong=2319|Type=adjective 9 תְּהִלָּ֪ה תְּהִלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 nsubj _ Gloss=praise|Ref=PSA_40:4!5|MId=o190400040051|Strong=8416 10-12 לֵֽאלֹ֫הֵ֥ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לֵֽ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_40:4!6|MId=o190400040061|Strong=3807a 11 אלֹ֫הֵ֥י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 parataxis _ Gloss=God|Ref=PSA_40:4!6|MId=o190400040062|Strong=0430 12 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=PSA_40:4!6|MId=o190400040063|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 13 יִרְא֣וּ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.see|Ref=PSA_40:4!7|MId=o190400040071|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:190400040081;|Type=yiqtol 14 רַבִּ֣ים רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 nsubj _ Gloss=many.[people]|Ref=PSA_40:4!8|MId=o190400040081|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 15-16 וְיִירָ֑אוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_40:4!9|MId=o190400040091|Strong=2050b 16 יִירָ֑אוּ יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.fear|Ref=PSA_40:4!9|MId=o190400040092|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:190400040081;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 וְ֝יִבְטְח֗וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ֝ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_40:4!10|MId=o190400040101|Strong=2050b 18 יִבְטְח֗וּ בָּטַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.trust|Ref=PSA_40:4!10|MId=o190400040102|Strong=0982|Frame=A0:190400040081;|Type=yiqtol 19-20 בַּיהוָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_40:4!11|MId=o190400040111|Strong=0871a 20 יהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 18 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=PSA_40:4!11|MId=o190400040112|Strong=3068 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=PSA_40:4!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּתֵּן *he put* | wayyiqtol · qal | | שִׁיר *a song* | | | | יִרְאוּ *they will see* | yiqtol · qal | רַבִּים *many \[people\]* | | | | | יִירָאוּ *they will fear* | yiqtol · qal | רַבִּים *many \[people\]* | | | | | יִבְטְחוּ *they will trust* | yiqtol · qal | רַבִּים *many \[people\]* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
