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/20/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/20Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD20kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0/edit?gid=70220420086#gid=70220420086

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 209
  2. Add the DiscourseSheetID property like this:
{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheetID=20Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD20kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-20vS309bCf4RkDjHEczGiDnZtOACqV94-DLwI_bYlzt5hugBM25ddPLVwaRETsZ9SyB46-7SpcGm3U8bX/pub?gid=70220420086
}}

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/207TAMP20KpcaMTXBf5qS0C-mflnt-20srgJTWns6bLRD_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 מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ 1 For the director. A psalm by David.
יְ֝שַׂגֶּבְךָ֗ שֵׁ֤ם ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֬י יַעֲקֹֽב׃ 2 As a battle approaches, and the king prepares to lead his army in battle, the people address the king and pray on his behalf: May YHWH answer you, king, on the day of trouble! For YHWH is known to answer in times of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you as YHWH protected our ancestor Jacob on the day of his trouble! YHWH has also promised to protect his people.
יִשְׁלַֽח־עֶזְרְךָ֥ מִקֹּ֑דֶשׁ וּ֝מִצִּיּ֗וֹן יִסְעָדֶֽךָּ׃ 3 May he send you help from his earthly dwelling place, the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion, where the sanctuary is located!
וְעוֹלָתְךָ֖ יְדַשְּׁנֶ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃ 4 You have offered sacrifices to YHWH before the battle as a way of seeking his favor, as it is appropriate for kings to do. May he remember every offering of yours and accept your burnt offering (i.e., may he show you favor in the troublesome time!) Selah.
יִֽתֶּן־לְךָ֥ כִלְבָבֶ֑ךָ וְֽכָל־עֲצָתְךָ֥ יְמַלֵּֽא׃ 5 May he give you that which is according to your heart's desire, (i.e., victory), and may he fulfill your whole plan for the battle! In other words, may YHWH reward your dependence on him.
נְרַנְּנָ֤ה ׀ בִּ֘ישׁ֤וּעָתֶ֗ךָ וּבְשֵֽׁם־אֱלֹהֵ֥ינוּ נִדְגֹּ֑ל יְמַלֵּ֥א יְ֝הוָ֗ה כָּל־מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ 6 When you are victorious in battle, the whole kingdom will flourish, and so we, your people, want you to achieve victory. May we shout for joy over your victory against our enemies, and in the name of our God may we array ourselves with banners! The banners will symbolize our submission to YHWH as well as his leadership and protection of us. We will raise these banners in celebration of the victory YHWH will win for us. Then, everyone will see that we are YHWH's people and he is our God. May YHWH fulfill all your requests!
עַתָּ֤ה יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּ֤י הֹושִׁ֥יעַ׀ יְהוָ֗ה מְשִׁ֫יחֹ֥ו בִּ֝גְבֻר֗וֹת יֵ֣שַׁע יְמִינֽוֹ׃ 7 After the king and the people have both called to YHWH, the king has confidence to say: Now, I know that even though the battle has yet to start, YHWH will deliver his anointed because he promises to answer those who call on him. And so I will proclaim: YHWH has granted victory to his anointed king. This means I am confident that I will win in the upcoming battle. The help that YHWH provides is better than any earthly means of achieving victory. He himself is the source of all power and authority, and he dispenses his power from his holy heaven. He (YHWH) will answer him (the anointed king) from the seat of his power, his holy heavens. Indeed, he will answer with the saving mighty deeds of his right hand. YHWH's right hand symbolizes his power, and he saves those who seek refuge at his right hand.
אֵ֣לֶּה בָ֭רֶכֶב וְאֵ֣לֶּה בַסּוּסִ֑ים 8 YHWH has proven to his people that victory belongs to him (Prov. 21:31). Therefore, they say: Some [boast] in chariotry and others [boast] in horses, but we will boast in the name of YHWH our God. Horses and chariots are prestigious weapons of war. They demonstrate wealth and military might, and they are vastly superior to ordinary infantry. Nevertheless, YHWH's king is instructed to not be fooled by the visible might of horses and chariots, but is able to depend on YHWH alone for victory.
הֵ֭מָּה כָּרְע֣וּ וְנָפָ֑לוּ וַאֲנַ֥חְנוּ קַּ֝֗מְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָֽד׃ 9 This is what we have seen as the pattern until now: They who trusted in horses and chariots have collapsed and fallen but we have risen and stood upright. We are confident this pattern will continue, now.
יְהוָ֥ה הוֹשִׁ֑יעָה הַ֝מֶּ֗לֶךְ יַעֲנֵ֥נוּ בְיוֹם־קָרְאֵֽנוּ׃ 10 YHWH, grant victory to the king in the coming battle! We call on the name of YHWH to bring us victory. May he YHWH answer us on the day of our calling!
