Psalms 118:12 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: nations, I · What happens: compass about, quench, cut off, fire, name · To what, where: me, nations, name, thorns, LORD

This is Psalms 118:12 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — nations, I — and what happens in the verse to me, nations, name, thorns, LORD, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 150 chapters of Psalms on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

סַבּ֤וּנִי כִדְבוֹרִ֗ים דֹּ֭עֲכוּ כְּאֵ֣שׁ קוֹצִ֑ים בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃

They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.

The tree

Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss.

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

The Targum

אַקִיפוּן לִי הֵיךְ זְבוּרְיָתָא דָלְקִין הֵיךְ אֶשְׁתָּא בְּכוּבִין בְּשׁוּם מֵימְרָא דַייָ רַחֲצֵית אֲרוּם אֶתְּשִׁנוּן:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
