# Psalms 79:11 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power set free those that are appointed to death;

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** you, groaning · **What happens:** let, come, accord, set, appoint · **To what, where:** groaning, Thee, those

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 79:11 · 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 (you, groaning), 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.
