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/28/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/28Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD28kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0/edit?gid=70228428086#gid=70228428086

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 289
  2. Add the DiscourseSheetID property like this:
{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheetID=28Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD28kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-28vS309bCf4RkDjHEczGiDnZtOACqV94-DLwI_bYlzt5hugBM25ddPLVwaRETsZ9SyB46-7SpcGm3U8bX/pub?gid=70228428086
}}

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/287TAMP28KpcaMTXBf5qS0C-mflnt-28srgJTWns6bLRD_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
לְדָוִ֡ד אֵ֘לֶ֤יךָ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ אֶקְרָ֗א צוּרִי֮ אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַ֪שׁ מִ֫מֶּ֥נִּי וְ֝נִמְשַׁ֗לְתִּי עִם־י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר׃ 1 A psalm written By David. In a time of great affliction at the hands of my enemies, to the point of being near death, I prayed the following prayer: To you and no one else, YHWH, I cry out; my rock who protects me from danger, when I ask you for protection do not be deaf to me, but instead, hear my prayer, lest you be silent to me, and since you are the only one who can save me from death, I become like those who die prematurely and go down to the Pit, the place of the dead.
שְׁמַ֤ע ק֣וֹל תַּ֭חֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִ֣י אֵלֶ֑יךָ בְּנָשְׂאִ֥י יָ֝דַ֗י אֶל־דְּבִ֥יר קָדְשֶֽׁךָ׃ 2 Hear the sound of my supplications when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands in prayer toward your holy inner sanctuary, the place where your presence dwells, thereby demonstrating that I am relying exclusively on you, not on any other gods.
אַל־תִּמְשְׁכֵ֣נִי עִם־רְשָׁעִים֮ וְעִם־פֹּ֪עֲלֵ֫י אָ֥וֶן דֹּבְרֵ֣י שָׁ֭לוֹם עִם־רֵֽעֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝רָעָ֗ה בִּלְבָבָֽם׃ 3 I am crying out for just treatment. I know you judge rightly both the righteous and the wicked. The deceitful wicked, who are my enemies, deserve to be dragged away. But, Do not drag me away and condemn me to death along with wicked people, with evildoers, those who speak peace with their neighbors but [speak] evil in their hearts, who pretend to care for the well-being of their neighbors but secretly wish harm upon them. But I care for the well-being of my neighbors, for your people. I am not like the wicked. So I ask that you do not take away my life with the wicked when you judge them.
תֶּן־לָהֶ֣ם כְּפָעֳלָם֮ וּכְרֹ֪עַ מַֽעַלְלֵ֫יהֶ֥ם הָשֵׁ֖ב גְּמוּלָ֣ם לָהֶֽם׃ 4 When you hold judgment, Give to them, that is, the wicked, that which is according to their deeds and according to the evil of their practices! Give to them that which is according to the work of their hands! Repay them their dealings and demonstrate your justness in also repaying me for my dealings! Bring back on them what they deserve, for your judgment is fair!
כִּ֤י לֹ֤א יָבִ֡ינוּ אֶל־פְּעֻלֹּ֣ת יְ֭הוָה וְאֶל־מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָדָ֑יו יֶ֝הֶרְסֵ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִבְנֵֽם׃ 5 The wicked pursue evil and treat YHWH with contempt. Since they treat YHWH with contempt and do not regard the deeds of YHWH and the work of his hands, he will tear them down (i.e., he will destroy them), and he will not build them up. In other words, their destruction will be permanent. By contrast, YHWH promised me that he would build me a house (=a dynasty) that would last forever. YHWH will judge me favorably and save me from the fate of the wicked.
בָּר֥וּךְ יְהוָ֑ה כִּי־שָׁ֝מַע ק֣וֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ 6 YHWH has answered my prayer! So now, I say, Blessed be YHWH! For he has heard the sound of my supplications. He has been faithful to his covenant.
יְהוָ֤ה עֻזִּ֥י וּמָגִנִּי֮ בּ֤וֹ בָטַ֥ח לִבִּ֗י וְֽנֶ֫עֱזָ֥רְתִּי וַיַּעֲלֹ֥ז לִבִּ֑י וּֽמִשִּׁירִ֥י אֲהוֹדֶֽנּוּ׃ 7 YHWH is my strength and my shield to protect me. In him alone my heart trusted, and because he is faithful to his covenant I was helped. YHWH does not forsake those who trust him. Therefore, because I trusted in him, he delivered me from my affliction, and my heart exulted, and now, as an expression of my joy, with my song I will praise him.
וּמָ֘ע֤וֹז יְשׁוּע֖וֹת מְשִׁיח֣וֹ הֽוּא׃ 8 YHWH is not only my strength, but YHWH is also the strength of his people, and he is the saving refuge for me, his anointed king.
הוֹשִׁ֤יעָה ׀ אֶת־עַמֶּ֗ךָ וּבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת־נַחֲלָתֶ֑ךָ וּֽרְעֵ֥ם וְ֝נַשְּׂאֵ֗ם עַד־הָעוֹלָֽם׃ 9 As the king, I am responsible for interceding on the people's behalf. So now, having experienced YHWH's salvation for myself, I pray to YHWH, Save your people who are are also afflicted by enemies. You are the strength and protection of your people. When I was in deep distress, afflicted by enemies to the point of being near death, I cried out to you, and you heard me and answered me, and you delivered me from my enemies. Since you were neither deaf nor silent to me, I did not become like those who go down to the Pit. And, unlike the wicked, I survived. I did not share their fate of permanent destruction. You granted me life so that I would have a long life, and my dynasty would extend forever and ever just as you promised me it would. Blessed are you, YHWH, for you helped me in my distress, and I now ask that you would bless your possession, Israel, whom you chose to be your own people, the sheep of your pasture, and shepherd them. Lead, feed, shelter, and protect them, and pick them up out of their afflictions and carry them to safety forever!
