Psalms 4:2 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: you, I, my · What happens: answer, call, set, be, hear, pray · To what, where: me, distress, prayer · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Psalms 4:2 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 me, distress, prayer, 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.

בְּקָרְאִ֡י עֲנֵ֤נִי ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗י בַּ֭צָּר הִרְחַ֣בְתָּ לִּ֑י חָ֝נֵּ֗נִי וּשְׁמַ֥ע תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.

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

בְּעִדָן צְלוֹתִי קַבֵּל מִנִי אֱלוֹהַּ צִדְקוֹתִי בְּעִידָן עַקְתָא אַפְתִּיתָא לִי חוּס עֲלַי וְקַבֵּל צְלוֹתִי:
