Psalms 36:8 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: lovingkindness, children · What happens: be, take, shadow · To what, where: refuge, shadow, wings

This is Psalms 36:8 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 — lovingkindness, children — and what happens in the verse to refuge, shadow, wings, 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.

מַה־יָּקָ֥ר חַסְדְּךָ֗ אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים וּבְנֵ֥י אָדָ֑ם בְּצֵ֥ל כְּ֝נָפֶ֗יךָ יֶחֱסָיֽוּן׃

How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.

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

כְּמָה יַקִיר טוּבָךְ יְיָ וּבְנֵי נָשָׁא בִּטְלַל שְׁכִנְתָּךְ יִשְׁרוּן לְרוֹחֲצָן:

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

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.

How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.
