# Psalms 112:5 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth, that ordereth his affairs rightfully.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** darkness, man, that · **What happens:** be, deal, lend, order · **To what, where:** affairs

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 112:5 · 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 (darkness, man, that), 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.
