In Psalm 62, verses 2 and 6 differ in just one word, רַבָּֽה rabbāh, at the end of the verse. This is glossed as “great(ly)”, “much”, and the like.

Romans 11:11 and 25-27; “So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass, Salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous…. Lest you be wise in your own sight, I did not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers; […]
