Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
'The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever' is the most exact antecedent of 'your word is truth' (v17). High Volume and Coherence; listed alongside 119:142 as the twin source of the maxim.
High confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'The sum of your word is truth' stands behind Pilate's question 'What is truth?' and Jesus' truth-witness, since for John truth (aletheia) is the revelation of God enacted in Jesus. Faint; the link is thematic to John's truth motif rather than to a quoted verse.
Low confidence'Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever'; coheres with the permanence of the least commandments.
