Echo3
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground' supplies the rare motif of the divine Spirit as the agent of moral guidance behind Paul's 'led by the Spirit.' Volume is low but the verbal pairing of Spirit and leading is distinctive.
Low confidenceThe doxology's petition that God ‘make you complete… to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight’ (v. 21) faintly echoes Ps 143:10, ‘Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; your Spirit is good.’ Both join doing God's will to God's own enabling Spirit/work. Very low verbal volume — a liturgical commonplace rather than a citation — included only for completeness.
Low confidence'Your good Spirit will lead me' pairs the divine Spirit with guidance into right paths, coherent with the Paraclete leading disciples. The conjunction of Spirit and leading reinforces the guidance motif though the wording is more distant than Psalm 25.
