# Psalms 59:2 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** you · **What happens:** deliver, set on, rise up · **To what, where:** me, enemies

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 59:2 · 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 (you), 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.
