Build Expanded Paraphrase

Click within the CBC to insert an expansion. A textbox will appear. Type in (or copy into) the textbox and push ESC to cancel or ENTER to save.

Alternatively, you may edit the CBC/insertions alternation directly at Data/11/expanded-paraphrase.json for a final draft. If you're viewing a paraphrase from the wiki, save it as a draft and then modify.

If there is an extra space between two parts...

, you'll need to modify the json file directly. For example, to enable plots: 

	{
		"verse": "1",
		"cbc": "plot",
		"Index": 6,
		"suppressFollowingSpace": true
	},
	{
		"verse": "1",
		"insertion": "s",
		"WordsBefore": 6,
		"Index": 7
	},

If a Google discourse sheet exists...

You may import the Expanded Paraphrase from the sheet by following these instructions.

Prepare the discourse sheet

  1. Open the Discourse Google sheet for this Psalm.
  2. Go to the tab named "Public-Text" (which is likely already made). If it doesn't exist, follow these instructions (you'll need it all by the end of this).

Prepare

To enable this, you must:

  1. Open the Discourse Google sheet for this Psalm.
  2. Add a new tab named "Public-Text" (the name isn't actually critical)
  3. Use as the formula in the top-left cell: ='Discourse Master Sheet'!A:A (or whatever the appropriate code is to select the first column of the master sheet).
  4. Drag the formula over to Column C and down as far as needed to get all the rows.
  5. File > Share > Publish to Web
  6. Instead of Entire Document, choose sheet Public-Text
  7. Instead of Web Page, choose Tab-separated values.
  8. Copy the link starting from after /d/e until before the &single, e.g. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTeE2dD9gc2v4rckm23VfBCDdpuLirI3DOxLQE10a2UHWl3puz8wPPCJ2wgBftP4VYqadCPb2pWOUwi/pub?gid=168152279&single=true&output=tsv
  9. Edit the base Psalm page, e.g. Psalm 19
  10. Add the DiscourseSheet property like this:
{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-1vTeE2dD9gc2v4rckm23VfBCDdpuLirI3DOxLQE10a2UHWl3puz8wPPCJ2wgBftP4VYqadCPb2pWOUwi/pub?gid=168152279
|Banner Image=Psalm 19 banner image.jpg
  1. In D2, type "Expanded Paraphrase" as the new header. (This, like the one below, will be used by code to ensure this is what is intended.)
  2. In E2, type "Expanded Paraphrase as JSON" as the new header.

Get the spreadsheet ID

  1. Now you'll need to save the Google spreadsheet ID. This will be used to generate the JSON within the Google environment. (The Google sheet URL, which is likely already stored, will be used to extract the JSON into the Resource Site.)
  2. From the URL, copy the link starting from after /d until before the /edit?, e.g. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD11kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0/edit?gid=70211411086#gid=70211411086

Save the spreadsheet ID

(This step can be skipped if you'll only ever manuallly populate this; this goal permits us to bulk populate all discourse spreadsheets.)

  1. Edit the base Psalm page, e.g. Psalm 119
  2. Add the DiscourseSheetID property like this:
{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheetID=11Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD11kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-11vS309bCf4RkDjHEczGiDnZtOACqV94-DLwI_bYlzt5hugBM25ddPLVwaRETsZ9SyB46-7SpcGm3U8bX/pub?gid=70211411086
}}

Populate the Public-Text sheet

  1. Actually extract the bold & italics from the main sheet into the Public-Text sheet. This involves running an Apps Script. First open this: https://script.google.com/u/0/home/projects/117TAMP11KpcaMTXBf5qS0C-mflnt-11srgJTWns6bLRD_l6eNSj9zy4Bxzc/edit.
  2. Now add your discourse sheet id to the end of the list of spreadsheetIDs at the top, remembering to enclose it in double quotation marks and ensuring everything is comma-delimited.
  3. At the top of the page, ensure "extractBoldFromMultipleSpreadsheets" is in the menu bar.
  4. Click Run.
  5. If the Execution Log at the bottom of the page doesn't show "Execution started" and then "Execution completed" then ask Elizabeth for help...

Extract the Public-Text sheet to the Resource Site

Follow the above instructions and refresh the page. The Discourse Sheet properties have not yet been set.

Use the Save current draft button at the bottom of the page to save.

Text (Hebrew) Verse Expanded Paraphrase
לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ לְדָ֫וִ֥ד בַּֽיהוָ֨ה ׀ חָסִ֗יתִי אֵ֭יךְ תֹּאמְר֣וּ לְנַפְשִׁ֑י נ֝֗וּדִו הַרְכֶ֥ם צִפּֽוֹר׃ 1 For the director. By David. I have sought refuge in YHWH my king and therefore I am safe from all harm. How then can you my military advisors say to me, " You and those you are with you should Flee to your mountain, because you are like birds which are about to be trapped and birds take shelter in the mountains! We are under siege, and we have no hope of a successful defense, and a besieged king is like a trapped bird who should flee if he can.
כִּ֤י הִנֵּ֪ה הָרְשָׁעִ֡ים יִדְרְכ֬וּן קֶ֗שֶׁת כּוֹנְנ֣וּ חִצָּ֣ם עַל־יֶ֑תֶר לִיר֥וֹת בְּמוֹ־אֹ֝֗פֶל לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ 2 "You should flee because the enemy is preparing for an all-out assault on our city! For look! The wicked ones those who oppose YHWH's people are about to bend and put the string on the bow. Bows are a critical offensive weapon in a siege. They have now already bent and strung the bow. The assault is beginning. They have put their arrows in place on the string in order to shoot in deep darkness an image of calamity at those of us who are in the city who are upright in heart and have done no wrong so as to deserve this.
כִּ֣י הַ֭שָּׁתוֹת יֵֽהָרֵס֑וּן צַ֝דִּ֗יק מַה־פָּעָֽל׃ 3 "You should flee For the foundations of our city wall are about to be destroyed Cities are protected by fortifications which have foundations, and a besieging army would sometimes attempt to destroy the foundations of a defensive structure. What has the righteous one done to deserve this? The righteous have done nothing to deserve this! YHWH has unjustly brought this crisis about for no good reason, which means we can no longer trust him for protection, which means that the only way for you to be safe is for you to flee."
יְהוָ֤ה ׀ בְּֽהֵ֘יכַ֤ל קָדְשׁ֗וֹ יְהוָה֮ בַּשָּׁמַ֪יִם כִּ֫סְא֥וֹ עֵינָ֥יו יֶחֱז֑וּ עַפְעַפָּ֥יו יִ֝בְחֲנ֗וּ בְּנֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃ 4 You say all this because you are forgetting who YHWH is. YHWH, in whom I have taken refuge is the supreme king over the whole world. YHWH is in his holy temple in the heavens. YHWH - his throne is not on the earth but in heaven. Just as it is the responsibility of an earthly king to execute justice in his land so YHWH will execute justice in the world. In order to execute justice, YHWH needs to know who is righteous and who is wicked. That's why His eyes observe. That's why His eyelids test humans like a goldsmith tests a precious metal to determine its quality.
יְהוָה֮ צַדִּ֪יק יִ֫בְחָ֥ן וְ֭רָשָׁע וְאֹהֵ֣ב חָמָ֑ס שָֽׂנְאָ֥ה נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ 5 Since YHWH knows who is righteous and who is wicked, he can deal with each accordingly. YHWH refines the righteous one just as a goldsmith refines a precious metal in the fire. YHWH loves the righteous and the difficulties they experience, like the one which we are experiencing, are meant to refine them, not to destroy them, but he doesn't refine the wicked. Instead, his soul hates the wicked one, who loves violence just as those who are attacking us show their love for violence.
יַמְטֵ֥ר עַל־רְשָׁעִ֗ים פַּ֫חִ֥ים אֵ֣שׁ וְ֭גָפְרִית וְר֥וּחַ זִלְעָפ֗וֹת מְנָ֣ת כּוֹסָֽם׃ 6 God rained fire and brimstone on the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and so demonstrated his justice. May he rain traps which are used to catch birds on wicked people since, despite what it may seem, it is not we but the wicked who will be trapped like birds. May the portion in their cup be fire, brimstone, and a scorching wind. Just as YHWH showed himself to be just when he rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah, so may he do it again!
כִּֽי־צַדִּ֣יק יְ֭הוָה צְדָק֣וֹת אָהֵ֑ב יָ֝שָׁ֗ר יֶחֱז֥וּ פָנֵֽימוֹ׃ 7 My advisors may doubt, but I trust YHWH. For YHWH is righteous. He loves righteous acts and those who do them. Whereas the fate of the wicked is destruction, The upright will look at his face and so experience his favor and protective presence forever.
