Psalms 38:14 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: I, dumb man · What happens: be, not hear, not open · To what, where: mouth

This is Psalms 38:14 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 — I, dumb man — and what happens in the verse to mouth, 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.

וַאֲנִ֣י כְ֭חֵרֵשׁ לֹ֣א אֶשְׁמָ֑ע וּ֝כְאִלֵּ֗ם לֹ֣א יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיו׃

But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

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
act: promise
voice: character
speech: speech with no frame
negation: yes

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
not אֶשְׁמָע I hear	yiqtol · qal	אֲנִי I
not יִפְתַּח־ he opens	yiqtol · qal	אִלֵּם a dumb [person]	פִּֽי mouth

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

וַאֲנָא הֵיךְ חָרְשָׁא לָא אֶשְׁמַע וְהֵיךְ אִלְמָנָא דְלָא פְתַח פּוּמֵיהּ:

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.

But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
