Psalms 17:12 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: judgment, lion, young lion · What happens: be, tear, lurk · To what, where: pieces, secret places

This is Psalms 17:12 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 — judgment, lion, young lion — and what happens in the verse to pieces, secret places, 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.

דִּמְיֹנ֗וֹ כְּ֭אַרְיֵה יִכְס֣וֹף לִטְר֑וֹף וְ֝כִכְפִ֗יר יֹשֵׁ֥ב בְּמִסְתָּרִֽים׃

He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.

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: statement

negation: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)
יִכְסוֹף [which] it longs	yiqtol · qal	אַרְיֵה a lion
טְרוֹף tear to pieces	infinitive construct · qal	אַרְיֵה a lion

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

דְמוּתֵיהּ הֵיךְ אַרְיָא דִמְרַגֵג לְמִתְבַּר וּכְשַׁחֲלָא דְיָתִיב בְּטוּמְרַיָא:

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

English, JPS 1917

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
