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 — I, Thou, my — and what happens in the verse to high tower, 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. וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אָשִׁ֣יר עֻזֶּךָ֮ וַאֲרַנֵּ֥ן לַבֹּ֗קֶר חַ֫סְדֶּ֥ךָ כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לִ֑י וּ֝מָנ֗וֹס בְּי֣וֹם צַר־לִֽי׃ [But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.975/) ## 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:906 # text = וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אָשִׁ֣יר עֻזֶּךָ֮ וַאֲרַנֵּ֥ן לַבֹּ֗קֶר חַ֫סְדֶּ֥ךָ כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לִ֑י וּ֝מָנ֗וֹס בְּי֣וֹם צַר־לִֽי׃ # verse = PSA.59.17 1-2 וַאֲנִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_59:17!1|MId=o190590170011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲנִ֤י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=PSA_59:17!1|MId=o190590170012|Strong=0589|Type=personal 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=PSA_59:17!1 4 אָשִׁ֣יר שִׁיר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.will.sing|Ref=PSA_59:17!2|MId=o190590170021|Strong=7891|Frame=A0:190590170012;A1:190590170031;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 עֻזֶּךָ֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 עֻזּ עֹז NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=strength|Ref=PSA_59:17!3|MId=o190590170031|Strong=5797 6 ֶךָ֮ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_59:17!3|MId=o190590170032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7-8 וַאֲרַנֵּ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_59:17!4|MId=o190590170041|Strong=2050b 8 אֲרַנֵּ֥ן רָנַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 4 conj _ Gloss=I.will.sing.for.joy|Ref=PSA_59:17!4|MId=o190590170042|Strong=7442|Frame=A0:190590010042;A1:190590170061;|Type=yiqtol 9-11 לַבֹּ֗קֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_59:17!5|MId=o190590170051|Strong=3807a 10 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PSA_59:17!5|MId=o190590170051ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 בֹּ֗קֶר בֹּקֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=morning|Ref=PSA_59:17!5|MId=o190590170052|Strong=1242 12-13 חַ֫סְדֶּ֥ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 חַ֫סְדּ חֶסֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=loyalty|Ref=PSA_59:17!6|MId=o190590170061|Strong=2617 13 ֶ֥ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your.covenant|Ref=PSA_59:17!6|MId=o190590170062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=PSA_59:17!7|MId=o190590170071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 15 הָיִ֣יתָ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 16 cop _ Gloss=you.have.been|Ref=PSA_59:17!8|MId=o190590170081|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:190590140071;|Type=qatal 16 מִשְׂגָּ֣ב מִשְׂגָּב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 advcl _ Gloss=a.refuge|Ref=PSA_59:17!9|MId=o190590170091|Strong=4869 17-18 לִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 ל לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=PSA_59:17!10|MId=o190590170101|Strong=3807a 18 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=PSA_59:17!10|MId=o190590170102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 19-20 וּ֝מָנ֗וֹס _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּ֝ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_59:17!11|MId=o190590170111|Strong=2050b 20 מָנ֗וֹס מָנוֹס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=a.place.of.escape|Ref=PSA_59:17!11|MId=o190590170112|Strong=4498 21-22 בְּי֣וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on.[the]|Ref=PSA_59:17!12|MId=o190590170121|Strong=0871a 22 י֣וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=PSA_59:17!12|MId=o190590170122|Strong=3117 23 צַר־ צרר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 22 acl _ Gloss=[when].it.is.distress|Ref=PSA_59:17!13|MId=o190590170131|Strong=6887|Frame=A0:;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 לִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_59:17!14|MId=o190590170141|Strong=3807a 25 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=PSA_59:17!14|MId=o190590170142|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=PSA_59:17!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָשִׁיר *I will sing* | yiqtol · qal | אֲנִי *I* | עֻזּ *strength* | | | | אֲרַנֵּן *I will sing for joy* | yiqtol · piel | | חַסְדּ *loyalty* | | | | הָיִיתָ *you have been* | qatal · qal | | | | | | צַר־ *\[when\] it is distress* | qatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
