Psalms 137:6 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: you, I, my · What happens: let, cleave, not remember, not set, joy · To what, where: tongue, thee, Jerusalem, chiefest joy

This is Psalms 137:6 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 — you, I, my — and what happens in the verse to tongue, thee, Jerusalem, chiefest joy, 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.

תִּדְבַּ֥ק־לְשׁוֹנִ֨י ׀ לְחִכִּי֮ אִם־לֹ֪א אֶ֫זְכְּרֵ֥כִי אִם־לֹ֣א אַ֭עֲלֶה אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֑ם עַ֝֗ל רֹ֣אשׁ שִׂמְחָתִֽי׃

Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.

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

תִּדְבַּק לִישָׁנִי לְמוֹרִיגִי אִין לָא אִדְכַּר יָתִיכִי אִין לָא אַסִיק דָכְרָן יְרוּשְׁלֶם עַל שֵׁרוּי חֶדְוַת בֵּית שַׁמְשָׁי:
