Psalms 51:19 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: sacrifices, Thou · What happens: be, not despise, sacrifice · To what, where: broken spirit, broken contrite heart, God

This is Psalms 51:19 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 — sacrifices, Thou — and what happens in the verse to broken spirit, broken contrite heart, God, 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.

זִֽבְחֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים֮ ר֪וּחַ נִשְׁבָּ֫רָ֥ה לֵב־נִשְׁבָּ֥ר וְנִדְכֶּ֑ה אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים לֹ֣א תִבְזֶֽה׃

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.

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

נִכְסַת קוּדְשָׁא דֶאֱלָהָא נַפְשָׁא מִתַּבְרָא לֵב תְּבִיר וְשָׁפִי אֱלָהָא לָא תִבְסוֹר:
