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 — peoples, own arm, Thou — and what happens in the verse to land, possession, peoples, countenance, 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. כִּ֤י לֹ֪א בְחַרְבָּ֡ם יָ֥רְשׁוּ אָ֗רֶץ וּזְרוֹעָם֮ לֹא־הוֹשִׁ֪יעָ֫ה לָּ֥מוֹ כִּֽי־יְמִֽינְךָ֣ וּ֭זְרוֹעֲךָ וְא֥וֹר פָּנֶ֗יךָ כִּ֣י רְצִיתָֽם׃ [For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.714/) ## 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:657 # text = כִּ֤י לֹ֪א בְחַרְבָּ֡ם יָ֥רְשׁוּ אָ֗רֶץ וּזְרוֹעָם֮ לֹא־הוֹשִׁ֪יעָ֫ה לָּ֥מוֹ כִּֽי־יְמִֽינְךָ֣ וּ֭זְרוֹעֲךָ וְא֥וֹר פָּנֶ֗יךָ כִּ֣י רְצִיתָֽם׃ # verse = PSA.44.4 1 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=PSA_44:4!1|MId=o190440040011|Strong=3588 2 לֹ֪א לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=PSA_44:4!2|MId=o190440040021|Strong=3808|Type=negative 3-5 בְחַרְבָּ֡ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=PSA_44:4!3|MId=o190440040031|Strong=0871a 4 חַרְבּ חֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=sword|Ref=PSA_44:4!3|MId=o190440040032|Strong=2719 5 ָ֡ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=PSA_44:4!3|MId=o190440040033|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 6 יָ֥רְשׁוּ יָרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.took.possession.of|Ref=PSA_44:4!4|MId=o190440040041|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:190440020041;A1:190440040051;|Type=qatal 7 אָ֗רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=[the].land|Ref=PSA_44:4!5|MId=o190440040051|Strong=0776 8-10 וּזְרוֹעָם֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_44:4!6|MId=o190440040061|Strong=2050b 9 זְרוֹע זְרוֹעַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 12 nsubj _ Gloss=arm|Ref=PSA_44:4!6|MId=o190440040062|Strong=2220 10 ָם֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=PSA_44:4!6|MId=o190440040063|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=PSA_44:4!7|MId=o190440040071|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 12 הוֹשִׁ֪יעָ֫ה יָשַׁע VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=it.saved|Ref=PSA_44:4!8|MId=o190440040081|Strong=3467|Frame=A0:190440040062;|Type=qatal 13-14 לָּ֥מוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=PSA_44:4!9|MId=o190440040091|Strong=3807a 14 ָ֥מוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=PSA_44:4!9|MId=o190440040092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=PSA_44:4!10|MId=o190440040101|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 16-17 יְמִֽינְךָ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 יְמִֽינ יָמִין NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 advcl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=PSA_44:4!11|MId=o190440040111|Strong=3225 17 ְךָ֣ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.right|Ref=PSA_44:4!11|MId=o190440040112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18-20 וּ֭זְרוֹעֲךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ֭ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_44:4!12|MId=o190440040121|Strong=2050b 19 זְרוֹע זְרוֹעַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=arm|Ref=PSA_44:4!12|MId=o190440040122|Strong=2220 20 ֲךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_44:4!12|MId=o190440040123|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְא֥וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_44:4!13|MId=o190440040131|Strong=2050b 22 א֥וֹר אוֹר NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=the.light|Ref=PSA_44:4!13|MId=o190440040132|Strong=0216 23-24 פָּנֶ֗יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 פָּנֶ֗י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.face|Ref=PSA_44:4!14|MId=o190440040141|Strong=6440 24 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_44:4!14|MId=o190440040142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=PSA_44:4!15|MId=o190440040151|Strong=3588 26-27 רְצִיתָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 רְצִיתָֽ רָצָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 advcl _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_44:4!16|MId=o190440040161|Strong=7521|Frame=A0:190440020011;A1:190440040162;|Type=qatal 27 ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 obj _ Gloss=took.pleasure.in.them|Ref=PSA_44:4!16|MId=o190440040162|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=PSA_44:4!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יָרְשׁוּ *they took possession of* | qatal · qal | | אָרֶץ *\[the\] land* | | | | **not** הוֹשִׁיעָה *it saved* | qatal · hiphil | זְרוֹע *arm* | | | | | רְצִיתָֽ *you* | qatal · qal | | ם *took pleasure in them* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
