# Psalms 80:15 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
O God of hosts, return, we beseech Thee; look from heaven, and behold, and be mindful of this vine,

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** we · **What happens:** return, beseech, look, behold, be · **To what, where:** Thee

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 80:15 · 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 (we), 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.
