[4:7]  ² sn Ps 95 does not mention David either in the text or the superscription. It is possible that the writer of Hebrews is attributing the entire collection of psalms to David (although some psalms are specifically attributed to other individuals or groups).

[4:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “today if you hear his voice.”

[7:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “based on it.”

[8:11]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “from the small to the great.”

[10:16]  ¹³ tn Grk “putting…I will inscribe.”
