The supplied morphology identifies the form as a negative particle. In 1 Chronicles 16:30 the APB renders the clause “it shall not be moved”; in Isaiah 26:10 it renders the wicked as one who “does not learn righteousness,” and in Psalm 141:4 it gives a request, “Do not incline my heart,” showing negation in assertion, expectation, and appeal.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly reflects the particle with “not,” “does not,” “will not,” or “do not,” though it is a whole-verse translation to the Hebrew token.
