Contextual Overview

¹ Now, since God has left us the promise that we may enter his rest, let us be very careful so none of you will fail to enter. ² The Good News was preached to us just as it was to them. But the teaching they heard did not help them, because they heard it but did not accept it with faith. ³ We who have believed are able to enter and have God's rest. As God has said, "I was angry and made a promise, ‘They will never enter my rest.'" Psalm 95:11 But God's work was finished from the time he made the world. ⁴ In the Scriptures he talked about the seventh day of the week: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his works." ⁵ And again in the Scripture God said, "They will never enter my rest." ⁶ It is still true that some people will enter God's rest, but those who first heard the way to be saved did not enter, because they did not obey. ⁷ So God planned another day, called "today." He spoke about that day through David a long time later in the same Scripture used before: "Today listen to what he says. Do not be stubborn." Psalm 95:7–8 ⁸ We know that Joshua did not lead the people into that rest, because God spoke later about another day. ⁹ This shows that the rest for God's people is still coming. ¹⁰ Anyone who enters God's rest will rest from his work as God did.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And in this place again,.... In Psalms 95:11 he speaks again of another rest distinct from that on the seventh day; which, and not the latter, is what believers under the Gospel dispensation enter into:

if they shall enter into my rest: that is, unbelievers shall not enter into it; as the unbelieving Israelites did not enter into the typical rest, so neither shall any unbeliever enter into the Gospel rest, the antitype of the former.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And in this place again - Psalms 95:11.

If they shall enter - That is, they shall not enter; see the notes at Hebrews 3:11. The object of quoting this here seems to be two-fold:

1. To show that even in this Psalm God spoke of “his” rest, and said that they should not enter into it; and,

(2)It is connected with Hebrews 4:6, and is designed to show that it was implied that a rest yet remained. “That which deserves to be called “the divine rest” is spoken of in the Scriptures, and as “they” did not enter into it, it follows that it must be in reserve for some others, and that the promise must still remain.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Hebrews 4:5. And in this place again — In the ninety-fifth Psalm, already quoted, Psalms 95:3. This was a second rest which the Lord promised to the believing, obedient seed of Abraham; and as it was spoken of in the days of David, when the Jews actually possessed this long promised Canaan, therefore it is evident that that was not the rest which God intended, as the next verse shows.
