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 — you, I, one — and what happens in the verse to me, strength, 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. וְגַ֤ם עַד־זִקְנָ֨ה ׀ וְשֵׂיבָה֮ אֱלֹהִ֪ים אַֽל־תַּעַ֫זְבֵ֥נִי עַד־אַגִּ֣יד זְרוֹעֲךָ֣ לְד֑וֹר לְכָל־יָ֝ב֗וֹא גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃ [And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1189/) ## 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:1105 # text = וְגַ֤ם עַד־זִקְנָ֨ה ׀ וְשֵׂיבָה֮ אֱלֹהִ֪ים אַֽל־תַּעַ֫זְבֵ֥נִי עַד־אַגִּ֣יד זְרוֹעֲךָ֣ לְד֑וֹר לְכָל־יָ֝ב֗וֹא גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃ # verse = PSA.71.18 1-2 וְגַ֤ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_71:18!1|MId=o190710180011|Strong=2050b 2 גַ֤ם גַּם ADV _ _ 8 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=PSA_71:18!1|MId=o190710180012|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 3 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=PSA_71:18!2|MId=o190710180021|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 4 זִקְנָ֨ה זִקְנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=old.age|Ref=PSA_71:18!3|MId=o190710180031|Strong=2209 5 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 4 punct _ Ref=PSA_71:18!3 6-7 וְשֵׂיבָה֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_71:18!4|MId=o190710180041|Strong=2050b 7 שֵׂיבָה֮ שֵׂיבָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=grey.hair|Ref=PSA_71:18!4|MId=o190710180042|Strong=7872 8 אֱלֹהִ֪ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=O.God|Ref=PSA_71:18!5|MId=o190710180051|Strong=0430 9 אַֽל־ אַל ADV _ _ 10 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=PSA_71:18!6|MId=o190710180061|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 תַּעַ֫זְבֵ֥נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 תַּעַ֫זְב עָזַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 8 parataxis _ Gloss=forsake|Ref=PSA_71:18!7|MId=o190710180071|Strong=5800|Frame=A0:190710180051;A1:190710180072;|Type=jussive 11 ֵ֥נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=me|Ref=PSA_71:18!7|MId=o190710180072|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 12 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=PSA_71:18!8|MId=o190710180081|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 13 אַגִּ֣יד נָגַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.declare|Ref=PSA_71:18!9|MId=o190710180091|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:190710020022;A0:190710180101;|Type=yiqtol 14-15 זְרוֹעֲךָ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 זְרוֹע זְרוֹעַ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=strength|Ref=PSA_71:18!10|MId=o190710180101|Strong=2220 15 ֲךָ֣ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_71:18!10|MId=o190710180102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16-17 לְד֑וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_71:18!11|MId=o190710180111|Strong=3807a 17 ד֑וֹר דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=a.generation|Ref=PSA_71:18!11|MId=o190710180112|Strong=1755 18-19 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PSA_71:18!12|MId=o190710180121|Strong=3807a 19 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 parataxis _ Gloss=every|Ref=PSA_71:18!12|MId=o190710180122|Strong=3605 20 יָ֝ב֗וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 acl _ Gloss=[one.who].he.will.come|Ref=PSA_71:18!13|MId=o190710180131|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:190710180122;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 גְּבוּרָת גְּבוּרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=might|Ref=PSA_71:18!14|MId=o190710180141|Strong=1369 22 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=PSA_71:18!14|MId=o190710180142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=PSA_71:18!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תַּעַזְב *forsake* | jussive · qal | אֱלֹהִים *O God* | ֵנִי *me* | | | | אַגִּיד *I will declare* | yiqtol · hiphil | זְרוֹע *strength* | | | | | יָבוֹא *\[one who\] he will come* | yiqtol · qal | כָל־ *every* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
