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, anger, Thine — and what happens in the verse to us, 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. מַשְׂכִּ֗יל לְאָ֫סָ֥ףלָמָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים זָנַ֣חְתָּ לָנֶ֑צַח יֶעְשַׁ֥ן אַ֝פְּךָ֗ בְּצֹ֣אן מַרְעִיתֶֽךָ׃ [Maschil of Asaph.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1250/) [Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1251/) [Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1252/) ## 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.
