Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Rev 14:1–5

'I will sing a new song to you, God; on a harp of ten strings I will sing praises' — joins the new song with harp playing, exactly the pairing in 14:2–3. Verbal and thematic coherence.

High confidence

Echo1

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

Rev 5:9–10

Hays: low — included for completeness in the 'new song' + stringed-instrument cluster (cf. the harps of 5:8). The 'ten-stringed lyre' parallels the heavenly harps, but the link is generic; Ps 98 and Ps 96 carry the load. Faint, formulaic echo.
