# Psalms 69:30 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
But I am afflicted and in pain; let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** salvation, me, Thy · **What happens:** afflict, let, set up, salve · **To what, where:** I, high

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 69:30 · 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 (salvation, me, Thy), 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.
