# Psalms 68:20 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Blessed be the Lord, day by day He beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, God, our · **What happens:** bless, bear, be, burden · **To what, where:** Lord, burden, salvation

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 68:20 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (LORD, God, our), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
