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 — graciousness, Thou, hands — and what happens in the verse to work, 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. וִיהִ֤י ׀ נֹ֤עַם אֲדֹנָ֥י אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ עָ֫לֵ֥ינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָ֭דֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָ֥ה עָלֵ֑ינוּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דֵ֗ינוּ כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּ׃ [And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.1635/) ## 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:1516 # text = וִיהִ֤י ׀ נֹ֤עַם אֲדֹנָ֥י אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ עָ֫לֵ֥ינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָ֭דֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָ֥ה עָלֵ֑ינוּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דֵ֗ינוּ כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּ׃ # verse = PSA.90.17 1-2 וִיהִ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וִ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_90:17!1|MId=o190900170011|Strong=2050b 2 יהִ֤י הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 cop _ Gloss=let.it.be|Ref=PSA_90:17!1|MId=o190900170012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:190900170021;|Type=jussive 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=PSA_90:17!1 4 נֹ֤עַם נֹעַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=the.kindness|Ref=PSA_90:17!2|MId=o190900170021|Strong=5278 5-6 אֲדֹנָ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֲדֹנ אֲדֹנָי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Lord|Ref=PSA_90:17!3|MId=o190900170031|Strong=0136 6 ָ֥י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=of.[the]|Ref=PSA_90:17!3|MId=o190900170032|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-8 אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֱלֹהֵ֗י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=PSA_90:17!4|MId=o190900170041|Strong=0430 8 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=PSA_90:17!4|MId=o190900170042|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 9-10 עָ֫לֵ֥ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 עָ֫לֵ֥י עַל ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=towards|Ref=PSA_90:17!5|MId=o190900170051|Strong=5921 10 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 0 root _ Gloss=us|Ref=PSA_90:17!5|MId=o190900170052|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 11-12 וּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_90:17!6|MId=o190900170061|Strong=2050b 12 מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=the.work|Ref=PSA_90:17!6|MId=o190900170062|Strong=4639 13-14 יָ֭דֵינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 יָ֭דֵי יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=our.hands|Ref=PSA_90:17!7|MId=o190900170071|Strong=3027 14 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=PSA_90:17!7|MId=o190900170072|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 15-16 כּוֹנְנָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 כּוֹנְנ כּוּן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POLEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 10 conj _ Gloss=establish|Ref=PSA_90:17!8|MId=o190900170081|Strong=3559|Frame=A0:190900170031;A1:190900170062;|Type=imperative 16 ָ֥ה ה X _ _ 15 nmod _ Gloss=|Ref=PSA_90:17!8|MId=o190900170082|Strong=1886j|Type=paragogic_he 17-18 עָלֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 עָלֵ֑י עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=PSA_90:17!9|MId=o190900170091|Strong=5921 18 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=PSA_90:17!9|MId=o190900170092|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 19-20 וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=PSA_90:17!10|MId=o190900170101|Strong=2050b 20 מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 dislocated _ Gloss=the.work|Ref=PSA_90:17!10|MId=o190900170102|Strong=4639 21-22 יָ֝דֵ֗ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 יָ֝דֵ֗י יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=our.hands|Ref=PSA_90:17!11|MId=o190900170111|Strong=3027 22 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=PSA_90:17!11|MId=o190900170112|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 23-24 כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 כּוֹנְנ כּוּן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=POLEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 10 conj _ Gloss=establish|Ref=PSA_90:17!12|MId=o190900170121|Strong=3559|Frame=A0:190900170031;A1:190900170122;|Type=imperative 24 ֵֽהוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=PSA_90:17!12|MId=o190900170122|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=PSA_90:17!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יהִי *let it be* | jussive · qal | נֹעַם *the kindness* | | | | | כּוֹנְנ *establish* | imperative · polel | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | מַעֲשֵׂה *the work* | | | | כּוֹנְנ *establish* | imperative · polel | אֲדֹנ *Lord* | ֵֽהוּ *it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
