# Psalms 91:10 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** evil, plague · **What happens:** befall, come · **To what, where:** thee, tent

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 91:10 · 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 (evil, plague), 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.
