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 — God, sun — and what happens in the verse to earth, rising, 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. מִזְמ֗וֹר לְאָ֫סָ֥ףאֵ֤ל ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֡ים יְֽהוָ֗ה דִּבֶּ֥ר וַיִּקְרָא־אָ֑רֶץ מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹאֽוֹ׃ [A Psalm of Asaph.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.817/) [God, God, the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.818/) ## 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.
