The animals of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.

Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
"a chosen race... a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him" (2:9) is woven from Isaiah 43:20-21 LXX, 'my chosen race (genos eklekton)... my people whom I preserved to declare my excellencies (aretas).' The distinctive phrase 'proclaim the excellencies/aretas' is verbatim from Isa 43:21 and not from Exod 19, marking this as a separate source fused into the title-collage.
High confidenceAllusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
"My chosen people... which I formed for myself" stands behind "God's chosen ones," the elect people gathered to declare God's praise. Supports the high-confidence election cluster; medium because Deut 7 is the more controlling source, with Isaiah reinforcing the chosen-and-beloved motif.
