In the warning in Chapter 3 of Hebrews the author begins by quoting Psalm 95. However, he doesn't say, "as the Psalmist said." but rather he recognizes the true author and says, "as the Holy Spirit says."
Many people have suggested that a proper way to study scripture is to get into the mind of the author and the people to whom he is writing. Now that is important but we must never forget who is the true author and what He is trying to say to us today.
By the way, Psalm 95 was my mother's favourite.

Did you notice that later on the author of Hebrews refer to the Psalm as also being written by David (Heb. 4:7)? Even though the original Psalm is never attributed to David.
