Psalm 40:7
KJV
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
NIV
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll.
A volume refers to a complete bound collection, suggesting the fullness of God’s written revelation, whereas a scroll typically denotes a single, individual writing or book, as ancient texts were commonly kept on separate scrolls. The KJV’s wording preserves this sense of a unified body of scripture rather than a single portion. This has major importance since the “I” and “me” in this verse refer to Jesus Christ (cf. Heb 10:7).
