Psalms 127:2 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: ye, watchman · What happens: be, rise, sit up, eat, give · To what, where: bread, sleep

This is Psalms 127:2 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 — ye, watchman — and what happens in the verse to bread, sleep, 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.

שָׁ֤וְא לָכֶ֨ם ׀ מַשְׁכִּ֪ימֵי ק֡וּם מְאַֽחֲרֵי־שֶׁ֗בֶת אֹ֭כְלֵי לֶ֣חֶם הָעֲצָבִ֑ים כֵּ֤ן יִתֵּ֖ן לִֽידִיד֣וֹ שֵׁנָֽא׃

It is vain for you that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.

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.

The Targum

עַל מַגָן תִּטְלְחוּן לְכוֹן דִתְקַדְמוּן בְּצַפְרָא לְמֶעְבַּד לְכוֹן חֲטוֹף דִי מְאַחְרֵן וְתֵתְבוּן לְמֶעְבָּד זָנוּ דְאָכְלִין מְזוֹנֵי דְמִסְכְּנִין דְלָעוּ בְהוֹן עַל יָאוּת וְכֵיוָן יִתֵּן יְיָ לְרָחֲמֵיהּ דִמְכָא:
