   Plural absolute forms identify public groups in scenes of assembly and address: in Isaiah 43:9 the APB renders all nations as gathered and the peoples as assembling, while Isaiah 34:1 calls for nations to hear and peoples to listen. The same collective groups are portrayed as laboring in Habakkuk 2:13, giving thanks in Psalm 67:5, and receiving judgment in Psalm 7:8; singular forms likewise frame a people as a collective body in Proverbs 14:28.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the occurrences, the APB commonly presents the collective groups as “peoples,” often alongside “nations,” as in Isaiah 43:9 and Habakkuk 2:13. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, those English choices indicate the verse’s collective setting rather than a fixed rendering in every instance.
