# Psalms 10:11 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
He hath said in his heart: 'God hath forgotten; He hideth His face; He will never see.'

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** wicked, God · **What happens:** say, forget, hide, not see · **To what, where:** heart, face · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 10:11 · 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 (wicked, God), 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.

**The tree and the speech act** come from Mova's cycle: the small model's draft, read by a large model as teacher, passed by Mova's gates (Elamur Cosmic License). **The frames** are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (`prag`) when this page is built, the chapter read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence of the chapter.
