Psalm 112/Expanded Paraphrase

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/112/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/112Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD112kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0/edit?gid=7021124112086#gid=7021124112086

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 1129
2. Add the DiscourseSheetID property like this:

{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheetID=112Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD112kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-112vS309bCf4RkDjHEczGiDnZtOACqV94-DLwI_bYlzt5hugBM25ddPLVwaRETsZ9SyB46-7SpcGm3U8bX/pub?gid=7021124112086
}}

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/1127TAMP112KpcaMTXBf5qS0C-mflnt-112srgJTWns6bLRD_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.

הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ אַשְׁרֵי־אִ֭ישׁ יָרֵ֣א אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝מִצְוֺתָ֗יו חָפֵ֥ץ מְאֹֽד׃	1	+ Praise Yah who made a covenant with King David and promised to give him an eternal dynasty! If David's descendants study YHWH's law, fear YHWH, and keep his commandments, then they will be successful, and people will call them 'happy', that is, people will acknowledge that their position in life is admirable and desirable. And so, I say, both of the king who fears YHWH and of all those who follow his example, Happy is the one who studies YHWH's commands daily and thereby learns to fear YHWH, who fears YHWH, [who] keeps YHWH's commands, because he delights very much in his commands!+
גִּבּ֣וֹר בָּ֭אָרֶץ יִהְיֶ֣ה זַרְע֑וֹ דּ֭וֹר יְשָׁרִ֣ים יְבֹרָֽךְ׃	2	+ This person is to be considered 'happy' because he will have many sons, and His offspring will be great on the earth, mighty warriors fighting for the cause of truth and justice, a generation of upright people [who] will be blessed and made great by YHWH.+
הוֹן־וָעֹ֥שֶׁר בְּבֵית֑וֹ וְ֝צִדְקָת֗וֹ עֹמֶ֥דֶת לָעַֽד׃	3	+ Wise and successful kings gain immense wealth. This man is a wise and successful king, and so Immense wealth is in his house, and not only is he wealthy, but he has something far more valuable than wealth: righteousness. Even if his wealth deteriorates his righteousness the preeminent quality of a good king endures forever.+
זָ֘רַ֤ח בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ א֭וֹר לַיְשָׁרִ֑ים חַנּ֖וּן וְרַח֣וּם וְצַדִּֽיק׃	4	+ This righteous king is like the sun, which is a common image for righteousness and justice. Just as the sun has dominion over the day and the responsibility to provide light and heat during the day, so the king has dominion over his kingdom and the responsibility to maintain justice in the kingdom. Justice is the precondition for peace and well-being, just as light and heat are the preconditions for flourishing on the earth. The wise and just king is, therefore, like A light for the upright which has risen in the darkness dispelling injustice and bringing peace, and he is, like YHWH, his father, merciful and compassionate and righteous.+
טֽוֹב־אִ֭ישׁ חוֹנֵ֣ן וּמַלְוֶ֑ה יְכַלְכֵּ֖ל דְּבָרָ֣יו בְּמִשְׁפָּֽט׃	5	+ Fortunate is the one who, in his delight for YHWH's commands, keeps the commands and lends generously, [who] manages his financial affairs with justice, that is, in accordance with YHWH's law!+
כִּֽי־לְעוֹלָ֥ם לֹא־יִמּ֑וֹט לְזֵ֥כֶר ע֝וֹלָ֗ם יִהְיֶ֥ה צַדִּֽיק׃	6	+ This is why I declare him to be 'fortunate': For he will never be drastically affected by negative circumstances that cause him to waver with worry. The righteous one will be remembered forever.+
מִשְּׁמוּעָ֣ה רָ֭עָה לֹ֣א יִירָ֑א נָכ֥וֹן לִ֝בּ֗וֹ בָּטֻ֥חַ בַּיהוָֽה׃	7	+ And even when he does face negative circumstances, He will not be afraid of bad news, for example, when a foreign adversary poses a serious threat to the well-being of the kingdom. Instead, His heart is confident, trusting in YHWH who will protect him and fight for him.+
סָמ֣וּךְ לִ֭בּוֹ לֹ֣א יִירָ֑א עַ֖ד אֲשֶׁר־יִרְאֶ֣ה בְצָרָֽיו׃	8	+ His heart is encouraged by YHWH and by the certainty of receiving YHWH's help. He will not be afraid and, in his fear, seek an alliance with another foreign nation. Instead, he will remain unafraid all through the battle, until he finally looks [in triumph] on his defeated adversaries.+
פִּזַּ֤ר ׀ נָ֘תַ֤ן לָאֶבְיוֹנִ֗ים צִ֭דְקָתוֹ עֹמֶ֣דֶת לָעַ֑ד קַ֝רְנ֗וֹ תָּר֥וּם בְּכָבֽוֹד׃	9	+ And his enemies are not the only ones to be 'scattered'; he has 'scattered' his wealth as well! He has not kept his wealth for himself, but has given it freely and bountifully to the poor. Meanwhile, His righteousness which is his greatest asset endures forever. When he defeats his enemies, His horn a symbol for his strength will rise in honor.+
רָ֘שָׁ֤ע יִרְאֶ֨ה ׀ וְכָעָ֗ס שִׁנָּ֣יו יַחֲרֹ֣ק וְנָמָ֑ס תַּאֲוַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃	10	+ The wicked person will see the rising horn and the growing success of the man and become vexed, because he knows that his wicked desires cannot be satisfied for much longer, because the king is purging all wickedness from his kingdom. In order to express his hostility towards the king, He will grind his teeth and eventually, when the king's justice reaches him, he will melt and waste away like something melting from the heat of the sun. And so, under the rule of the man who fears YHWH, The desire of the wicked will come to an end.+
