# Psalms 22:8 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** worm · **What happens:** see, laugh, shoot out, shake · **To what, where:** me, lip, head

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 22:8 · 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 (worm), 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.
