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 — and what happens in the verse to heaven, me, mercy, 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. יִשְׁלַ֤ח מִשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ וְֽיוֹשִׁיעֵ֗נִי חֵרֵ֣ף שֹׁאֲפִ֣י סֶ֑לָה יִשְׁלַ֥ח אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים חַסְדּ֥וֹ וַאֲמִתּֽוֹ׃ [He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunteth; Selah; God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.935/) ## 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:869 # text = יִשְׁלַ֤ח מִשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ וְֽיוֹשִׁיעֵ֗נִי חֵרֵ֣ף שֹׁאֲפִ֣י סֶ֑לָה יִשְׁלַ֥ח אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים חַסְדּ֥וֹ וַאֲמִתּֽוֹ׃ # verse = PSA.57.4 1 יִשְׁלַ֤ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.send|Ref=PSA_57:4!1|MId=o190570040011|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:190570030022;|Type=yiqtol 2-3 מִשָּׁמַ֨יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=PSA_57:4!2|MId=o190570040021|Strong=4480 3 שָּׁמַ֨יִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 obl _ Gloss=heaven|Ref=PSA_57:4!2|MId=o190570040022|Strong=8064 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=PSA_57:4!2 5-7 וְֽיוֹשִׁיעֵ֗נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_57:4!3|MId=o190570040031|Strong=2050b 6 יוֹשִׁיע יָשַׁע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=PSA_57:4!3|MId=o190570040032|Strong=3467|Frame=AA:190570030022;A0:190570040033;|Type=yiqtol 7 ֵ֗נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 6 obj _ Gloss=will.save.me|Ref=PSA_57:4!3|MId=o190570040033|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 8 חֵרֵ֣ף חָרַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.reproach|Ref=PSA_57:4!4|MId=o190570040041|Strong=2778|Frame=A0:190570030022;A1:190570040051;|Type=qatal 9-10 שֹׁאֲפִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 שֹׁאֲפ שָׁאַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=[the|Ref=PSA_57:4!5|MId=o190570040051|Strong=7602a|Frame=A1:190570040052;|Type=participle_active 10 ִ֣י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=one.who].tramples.on.me|Ref=PSA_57:4!5|MId=o190570040052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 11 סֶ֑לָה סֶלָה INTJ _ _ 1 parataxis _ Gloss=Selah|Ref=PSA_57:4!6|MId=o190570040061|Strong=5542|Type=interjection 12 יִשְׁלַ֥ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.send|Ref=PSA_57:4!7|MId=o190570040071|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:190570040081;A1:190570040091;190570040102;|Type=yiqtol 13 אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 nsubj _ Gloss=God|Ref=PSA_57:4!8|MId=o190570040081|Strong=0430 14-15 חַסְדּ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 חַסְדּ חֶסֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=loyalty|Ref=PSA_57:4!9|MId=o190570040091|Strong=2617 15 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.covenant|Ref=PSA_57:4!9|MId=o190570040092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16-18 וַאֲמִתּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_57:4!10|MId=o190570040101|Strong=2050b 17 אֲמִתּ אֱמֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=faithfulness|Ref=PSA_57:4!10|MId=o190570040102|Strong=0571 18 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=PSA_57:4!10|MId=o190570040103|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=PSA_57:4!10 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִשְׁלַח *he will send* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יוֹשִׁיע *he* | yiqtol · hiphil | ֵנִי *will save me* | | | | | חֵרֵף *he will reproach* | qatal · piel | | שֹׁאֲפ *\[the* | | | | שֹׁאֲפ *\[the* | participle active · qal | | ִי *one who\] tramples on me* | | | | יִשְׁלַח *he will send* | yiqtol · qal | אֱלֹהִים *God* | חַסְדּ *loyalty* + אֲמִתּ *faithfulness* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
