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 — death, upright, form, sheep — and what happens in the verse to sheep, shepherd, dominion, 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. כַּצֹּ֤אן ׀ לִֽשְׁא֣וֹל שַׁתּוּ֮ מָ֤וֶת יִ֫רְעֵ֥ם וַיִּרְדּ֘וּ בָ֤ם יְשָׁרִ֨ים ׀ לַבֹּ֗קֶר וְ֭צוּרָם לְבַלּ֥וֹת שְׁא֗וֹל מִזְּבֻ֥ל לֽוֹ׃ [Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, that there be no habitation for it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.810/) ## 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:750 # text = כַּצֹּ֤אן ׀ לִֽשְׁא֣וֹל שַׁתּוּ֮ מָ֤וֶת יִ֫רְעֵ֥ם וַיִּרְדּ֘וּ בָ֤ם יְשָׁרִ֨ים ׀ לַבֹּ֗קֶר וְ֭צוּרָם לְבַלּ֥וֹת שְׁא֗וֹל מִזְּבֻ֥ל לֽוֹ׃ # verse = PSA.49.15 1-3 כַּצֹּ֤אן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=PSA_49:15!1|MId=o190490150011|Strong=3509a 2 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=PSA_49:15!1|MId=o190490150011ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 צֹּ֤אן צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=sheep|Ref=PSA_49:15!1|MId=o190490150012|Strong=6629 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=PSA_49:15!1 5-6 לִֽשְׁא֣וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לִֽ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=PSA_49:15!2|MId=o190490150021|Strong=3807a 6 שְׁא֣וֹל שְׁאוֹל PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Sheol|Ref=PSA_49:15!2|MId=o190490150022|Strong=7585 7 שַׁתּוּ֮ שׁית VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.have.been.appointed|Ref=PSA_49:15!3|MId=o190490150031|Strong=7896|Frame=A0:190490140031;190490140052;|Type=qatal 8 מָ֤וֶת מָוֶת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=death|Ref=PSA_49:15!4|MId=o190490150041|Strong=4194 9-10 יִ֫רְעֵ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 יִ֫רְע רָעָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 parataxis _ Gloss=it|Ref=PSA_49:15!5|MId=o190490150051|Strong=7462|Frame=A0:190490150041;A1:190490150052;|Type=yiqtol 10 ֵ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=will.shepherd.them|Ref=PSA_49:15!5|MId=o190490150052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-12 וַיִּרְדּ֘וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_49:15!6|MId=o190490150061|Strong=2050b 12 יִּרְדּ֘וּ רָדָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 conj _ Gloss=they.ruled|Ref=PSA_49:15!6|MId=o190490150062|Strong=7287|Frame=A0:190490150081;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 בָ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=PSA_49:15!7|MId=o190490150071|Strong=0871a 14 ָ֤ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=PSA_49:15!7|MId=o190490150072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 יְשָׁרִ֨ים יָשָׁר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 nsubj _ Gloss=upright.[people]|Ref=PSA_49:15!8|MId=o190490150081|Strong=3477|Type=adjective 16 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=PSA_49:15!8 17-19 לַבֹּ֗קֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_49:15!9|MId=o190490150091|Strong=3807a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PSA_49:15!9|MId=o190490150091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 בֹּ֗קֶר בֹּקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=morning|Ref=PSA_49:15!9|MId=o190490150092|Strong=1242 20-22 וְ֭צוּרָם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ֭ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_49:15!11|MId=o190490150111|Strong=2050b 21 צוּר צוּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 nsubj _ Gloss=form|Ref=PSA_49:15!11|MId=o190490150112|Strong=6697b 22 ָם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=PSA_49:15!11|MId=o190490150113|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23-24 לְבַלּ֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=[is].for|Ref=PSA_49:15!12|MId=o190490150121|Strong=3807a 24 בַלּ֥וֹת בָּלָה VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 7 conj _ Gloss=the.consuming|Ref=PSA_49:15!12|MId=o190490150122|Strong=1086|Frame=A0:190490150131;A1:190490150112;|Type=infinitive_construct 25 שְׁא֗וֹל שְׁאוֹל PROPN _ _ 24 nsubj _ Gloss=of.Sheol|Ref=PSA_49:15!13|MId=o190490150131|Strong=7585 26-27 מִזְּבֻ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=PSA_49:15!14|MId=o190490150141|Strong=4480 27 זְּבֻ֥ל זְבֻל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=a.lofty.residence|Ref=PSA_49:15!14|MId=o190490150142|Strong=2073 28-29 לֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 ל לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=PSA_49:15!15|MId=o190490150151|Strong=3807a 29 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod _ Gloss=him|Ref=PSA_49:15!15|MId=o190490150152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=PSA_49:15!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שַׁתּוּ *they have been appointed* | qatal · qal | | | | | | יִרְע *it* | yiqtol · qal | מָוֶת *death* | ֵם *will shepherd them* | | | | יִּרְדּוּ *they ruled* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְשָׁרִים *upright \[people\]* | | | | | בַלּוֹת *the consuming* | infinitive construct · piel | שְׁאוֹל *of Sheol* | צוּר *form* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
