Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
Parallel source for v15: the Lord 'who made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them,' here explicitly tied to the 'living' God who keeps faith and provides. Volume very high (same creation catalogue); Thematic Coherence strong (God as faithful provider, matching v17's rains and food). Likely conflated with Exod 20:11 in the speech's monotheistic appeal.
High confidenceAllusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Psalm 146:6 (LXX 145:6), 'who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them,' is verbally as close as Exod 20:11 to v.24 and is a doxological-prayer use of the formula, making it an especially apt parallel for this corporate prayer. Strong Volume and coherence; offered alongside Exod 20:11.
High confidenceEcho3
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them' parallels v.24's creation summary; recurrence of the formula raises confidence.
Medium confidence'who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever' couples the creation triad with the everlasting-living God, paralleling both halves of the oath.
Medium confidence'Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them' — the same creation formula commending worship/trust in the Maker; cumulative with Exod 20:11 and Neh 9:6.
