Psalms 85:9 תְּהִלִּים

Who acts: I, God, people · What happens: hear, speak, let, not turn back · To what, where: peace, people, folly · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Psalms 85:9 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, God, people — and what happens in the verse to peace, people, folly, 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.

אֶשְׁמְעָ֗ה מַה־יְדַבֵּר֮ הָאֵ֪ל ׀ יְה֫וָ֥ה כִּ֤י ׀ יְדַבֵּ֬ר שָׁל֗וֹם אֶל־עַמּ֥וֹ וְאֶל־חֲסִידָ֑יו וְֽאַל־יָשׁ֥וּבוּ לְכִסְלָֽה׃

I will hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

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

אֶשְׁמַע מַה יְמַלֵל אֱלָהָא יְיָ אֲרוּם יְמַלֵל שְׁלָם לְעַמֵיהּ וְלַחֲסִידוֹי וְלָא יַחְזְרוּן לְסִכְלָא:
