Psalms 140:5 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: you, violent man, steps, my · What happens: keep, preserve, purpose, make, slip, step · To what, where: me, hands, steps

This is Psalms 140:5 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, violent man, steps, my — and what happens in the verse to me, hands, steps, 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.

שָׁמְרֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מִ֘ידֵ֤י רָשָׁ֗ע מֵאִ֣ישׁ חֲמָסִ֣ים תִּנְצְרֵ֑נִי אֲשֶׁ֥ר חָ֝שְׁב֗וּ לִדְח֥וֹת פְּעָמָֽי׃

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip.

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.

Pragmatics

form: command
act: request
voice: character
speech: speech with no frame
negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)
שָׁמְר keep	imperative · qal	יְהוָה O Yahweh	ֵנִי me
תִּנְצְר you	yiqtol · qal	יְהוָה O Yahweh	ֵנִי will preserve me
חָשְׁבוּ they have planned	qatal · qal	רָשָׁע of [the] wicked + אִישׁ a man

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

נְטוֹר יָתִי יְיָ מִן יַד דְרַשִׁיעַיָא מִן גְבַר חֲטוּפִין תִּנְטוֹר יָתִי דִי חֲשִׁילוּ לְמִנְקוֹף אִסְתַּוְרָי:

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