== Analysis ==
Analyze the structure of the psalm using whatever methodology or theoretical framework(s) you find most helpful. Remember that our end goal is to study the emic features of the text, so together we may end up building a new theory of understanding Hebrew poetry. We’re walking that fine line between staying grounded while also thinking creatively.
* See [[Feature List| Appendix A]] for a list of possible features to consider in your analysis. Please let us know if you find additional features that should be added.
* Write up your findings according to the categories below.
* See Appendix B (tbd) for an example writeup based on Psalm 13.
{{{field|Analysis|input type=textarea}}}
== Sections ==
What boundaries/segments do you see in the psalm? Please provide your rationale/evidence.
{{{field|Sections|input type=textarea}}}
== Emphasis ==
What line(s) and/or section(s) seem to be most highlighted in this psalm (i.e., what should be featured most prominently in a new translation)? Provide your rationale/evidence.
{{{field|Emphasis|input type=textarea}}}
== Connections ==
What connections do you note between certain words, phrases, lines, or sections? Provide your rationale/evidence.
{{{field|Connections|input type=textarea}}}
== Translation ==
Provide your own translation with formatting that reflects the segmentation, emphasis, and connections you see in the psalm.
{{{field|Translation|input type=textarea}}}
== Template ==
Summarize your findings in the kind of template found in [[Template_Example | Appendix C]] (based on Psalm 13). Please feel free to adapt this template however you think would communicate the structure most intuitively. It can be much simpler if you’d like. We are still very much in the initial creation stages here!

== Reflections ==
What analysis methodology or theoretical framework(s) did you use? What questions/residue do you still have about this psalm? Work flow: About how many hours did you spend on this psalm? Are there any Hebrew features on which you’d like to focus/specialize across several psalms (example: distribution of vav, independent personal pronouns, etc.)? Any other suggestions, comments, or questions about the project?
