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 — Thou, I, soul, flesh — and what happens in the verse to God, Thee, dry land, 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. אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֵלִ֥י אַתָּ֗ה אֲ‍ֽשַׁחֲ֫רֶ֥ךָּ צָמְאָ֬ה לְךָ֨ ׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י כָּמַ֣הּ לְךָ֣ בְשָׂרִ֑י בְּאֶֽרֶץ־צִיָּ֖ה וְעָיֵ֣ף בְּלִי־מָֽיִם׃ [O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1019/) ## 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:945 # text = אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֵלִ֥י אַתָּ֗ה אֲ‍ֽשַׁחֲ֫רֶ֥ךָּ צָמְאָ֬ה לְךָ֨ ׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י כָּמַ֣הּ לְךָ֣ בְשָׂרִ֑י בְּאֶֽרֶץ־צִיָּ֖ה וְעָיֵ֣ף בְּלִי־מָֽיִם׃ # verse = PSA.63.2 1 אֱלֹהִ֤ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 dislocated _ Gloss=O.God|Ref=PSA_63:2!1|MId=o190630020011|Strong=0430 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=PSA_63:2!1 3-4 אֵלִ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֵל אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=God|Ref=PSA_63:2!2|MId=o190630020021|Strong=0410 4 ִ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[are].my|Ref=PSA_63:2!2|MId=o190630020022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 5 אַתָּ֗ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_63:2!3|MId=o190630020031|Strong=0859|Type=personal 6-7 אֲ‍ֽשַׁחֲ֫רֶ֥ךָּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֲ‍ֽשַׁחֲ֫ר שָׁחַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 parataxis _ Gloss=I|Ref=PSA_63:2!4|MId=o190630020041|Strong=7836|Frame=A0:190630010022;A1:190630020042;|Type=yiqtol 7 ֶ֥ךָּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 obj _ Gloss=am.seeking.you.earnestly|Ref=PSA_63:2!4|MId=o190630020042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 צָמְאָ֬ה צָמֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=it.is.thirsty|Ref=PSA_63:2!5|MId=o190630020051|Strong=6770|Frame=A0:190630020071;|Type=qatal 9-10 לְךָ֨ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 ל לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=PSA_63:2!6|MId=o190630020061|Strong=3807a 10 ְךָ֨ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_63:2!6|MId=o190630020062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 10 punct _ Ref=PSA_63:2!6 12-13 נַפְשִׁ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=self|Ref=PSA_63:2!7|MId=o190630020071|Strong=5315 13 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_63:2!7|MId=o190630020072|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 כָּמַ֣הּ כָּמַהּ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=it.longs|Ref=PSA_63:2!8|MId=o190630020081|Strong=3642|Frame=A0:190630020101;|Type=qatal 15-16 לְךָ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ל לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=PSA_63:2!9|MId=o190630020091|Strong=3807a 16 ְךָ֣ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=PSA_63:2!9|MId=o190630020092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17-18 בְשָׂרִ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְשָׂר בָּשָׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=flesh|Ref=PSA_63:2!10|MId=o190630020101|Strong=1320 18 ִ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=PSA_63:2!10|MId=o190630020102|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 19-20 בְּאֶֽרֶץ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=PSA_63:2!11|MId=o190630020111|Strong=0871a 20 אֶֽרֶץ־ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=a.land|Ref=PSA_63:2!11|MId=o190630020112|Strong=0776 21 צִיָּ֖ה צִיָּה ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 amod _ Gloss=of.dryness|Ref=PSA_63:2!12|MId=o190630020121|Strong=6723 22-23 וְעָיֵ֣ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_63:2!13|MId=o190630020131|Strong=2050b 23 עָיֵ֣ף עָיֵף ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 amod _ Gloss=weary|Ref=PSA_63:2!13|MId=o190630020132|Strong=5889|Type=adjective 24 בְּלִי־ בְּלִי ADV _ _ 20 acl _ Gloss=not|Ref=PSA_63:2!14|MId=o190630020141|Strong=1097|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 25 מָֽיִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 nsubj _ Gloss=water|Ref=PSA_63:2!15|MId=o190630020151|Strong=4325|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=PSA_63:2!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֲ‍ֽשַׁחֲר *I* | yiqtol · piel | | ֶךָּ *am seeking you earnestly* | | | | צָמְאָה *it is thirsty* | qatal · qal | נַפְשׁ *self* | | | | | כָּמַהּ *it longs* | qatal · qal | בְשָׂר *flesh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
