# Psalms 59:5 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** men, Thou, my · **What happens:** run, prepare, awake, help, behold, fault · **To what, where:** men, me

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Psalms 59:5 · 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 (men, Thou, my), 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.
