# Psalms 16:10 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Thou · **What happens:** not abandon, suffer, see · **To what, where:** soul, nether world, godly one, pit

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 16:10 · 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 (Thou), 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.
