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/91/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/91Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD91kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0/edit?gid=70291491086#gid=70291491086

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 919
  2. Add the DiscourseSheetID property like this:
{{ResourceSite
|DiscourseSheetID=91Ni8QMdjRtxVFj_eAcSD91kgnWmoNTLMZy0zvykIT8ku0
|DiscourseSheet=2PACX-91vS309bCf4RkDjHEczGiDnZtOACqV94-DLwI_bYlzt5hugBM25ddPLVwaRETsZ9SyB46-7SpcGm3U8bX/pub?gid=70291491086
}}

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/917TAMP91KpcaMTXBf5qS0C-mflnt-91srgJTWns6bLRD_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
יֹ֭שֵׁב בְּסֵ֣תֶר עֶלְי֑וֹן בְּצֵ֥ל שַׁ֝דַּ֗י יִתְלוֹנָֽן׃ 1 When enemies threaten to attack and besiege the king's city, it is The one living in the shelter of the Most High, who rests in the shade of the Almighty where he will be untouched by danger,
אֹמַ֗ר לַֽ֭יהוָה מַחְסִ֣י וּמְצוּדָתִ֑י אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃ 2 who says to YHWH: “You are my refuge and fortress, my God, in whom I trust to act when I need him.”
כִּ֤י ה֣וּא יַ֭צִּֽילְךָ מִפַּ֥ח יָק֗וּשׁ מִדֶּ֥בֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃ 3 You trust in him For, when your enemies attack and lay siege to your city, you know that he who delivers his anointed king from the hand of foreigners will rescue you from your enemy in the same way an animal is rescued from a hunter's trap and he will rescue you from a destructive plague which often strikes during a siege.
בְּאֶבְרָת֨וֹ יָ֣סֶךְ לָ֭ךְ וְתַֽחַת־כְּנָפָ֣יו תֶּחְסֶ֑ה צִנָּ֖ה וְֽסֹחֵרָ֣ה אֲמִתּֽוֹ׃ 4 When these enemies come He will cover you with his pinion like a mother bird who shields her young from the elements and will fight to deter predatory threats and you will find refuge under his wings. You know all this because His covenant faithfulness which he swore to your father David will be a shield and a wall to protect you from danger.
לֹא־תִ֭ירָא מִפַּ֣חַד לָ֑יְלָה מֵ֝חֵ֗ץ יָע֥וּף יוֹמָֽם׃ 5 Because you are confident that YHWH is protecting you, You will not be afraid of anything at any time, no matter when or how your enemy attacks. You will not be afraid of danger of the enemy attacks at night or of the enemy's arrow that flies during the day
מִ֭דֶּבֶר בָּאֹ֣פֶל יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ מִ֝קֶּ֗טֶב יָשׁ֥וּד צָהֳרָֽיִם׃ 6 or of the plague that moves in the deep darkness or of the disaster which devastates at noon, that is, plagues and epidemics which are common effects of siege warfare, strike at any time, and which may be as deadly as the fighting itself.
יִפֹּ֤ל מִצִּדְּךָ֨ ׀ אֶ֗לֶף וּרְבָבָ֥ה מִימִינֶ֑ךָ אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִגָּֽשׁ׃ 7 And even if the battle becomes fierce and the siege prolongs, Though a thousand fall at your side and ten thousand at your right side both friend and foe; even still, to you it, that is, the disaster, will not come near. You will not be killed or captured or taken into exile.
רַ֭ק בְּעֵינֶ֣יךָ תַבִּ֑יט וְשִׁלֻּמַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּרְאֶֽה׃ 8 Rather, you will look with your eyes and you will see wicked people's punishment —that is, the punishment that YHWH will inflict on your enemies.
כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן שַׂ֣מְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃ 9 Even under such dire circumstances, you still live confidently in the shelter of the Most High, For, when[you say] "YHWH, you are my refuge," you can do so because you have made the Most High your home.
לֹֽא־תְאֻנֶּ֣ה אֵלֶ֣יךָ רָעָ֑ה וְ֝נֶ֗גַע לֹא־יִקְרַ֥ב בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃ 10 So even if your city is besieged and an epidemic breaks out, you will not be the victim of exile or plague. Harm will not come to you and disease will not reach your home,
כִּ֣י מַ֭לְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּ֑ךְ לִ֝שְׁמָרְךָ֗ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃ 11 because not only are you generally protected, but because YHWH is faithful to his covenant partners he will even order his angels concerning you to surround you to protect you in all of your ways.
עַל־כַּפַּ֥יִם יִשָּׂא֑וּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּ֖ף בָּאֶ֣בֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ׃ 12 They will carry you in their arms, so that your foot does not stumble on any stones and no obstacle will keep you from victory, rather, your way will be smooth.
עַל־שַׁ֣חַל וָפֶ֣תֶן תִּדְרֹ֑ךְ תִּרְמֹ֖ס כְּפִ֣יר וְתַנִּֽין׃ 13 You will tread upon and thus publicly display your victory over a lion and a viper, those enemy kings who consider themselves as fierce and cunning as wild animals who attack suddenly from their hiding places; you will trample a young lion and a serpent. You will not only see their punishment, but you will even bring it about.
כִּ֤י בִ֣י חָ֭שַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ אֲ֝שַׂגְּבֵ֗הוּ כִּֽי־יָדַ֥ע שְׁמִֽי׃ 14 You seek refuge in YHWH to the end that he will not only protect you but will also bring about your victory over your enemies For, he has vowed"He has clung to me, so I will rescue him since my faithfulness protects like a shield, and he knows it. I will keep him safe, setting him high as if in a fortress on a rocky cliff, because he knows my name, and he is among those who seek me.
יִקְרָאֵ֨נִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵ֗הוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִ֥י בְצָרָ֑ה אֲ֝חַלְּצֵ֗הוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ׃ 15 He will cry out to me, so I will answer him as my faithful nature has led him to expect. I haven't promised that trouble will never arise, but I am never far away, either. He's not alone! I will be with him in his trouble; I'm stronger than his enemies, so I will rescue him and I will even honour him. Just as his enemies will be publicly shamed in their defeat, so I will ensure he is publicly honoured.
אֹ֣רֶךְ יָ֭מִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אַרְאֵ֗הוּ בִּֽישׁוּעָתִֽי׃ 16 Part of how I will honour him is that I will give him his fill of long life and I will show him my salvation.
