Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The messianic king/anointed installed 'on Zion, my holy hill' underlies the Lamb standing on Mount Zion as eschatological gathering point; thematic coherence and recurrence (Ps 2 cited Rev 2:27; 12:5; 19:15). Hebrew and LXX agree on Zion as the locus of enthronement.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The inscription proclaiming Jesus 'King of the Jews,' published in three languages, ironically broadcasts the enthronement of God's king ('I have set my king on Zion'). Faint; the royal-psalm coloring is thematic rather than verbal.
Low confidence◇ Figural1
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
Pilate's interrogation of Jesus' kingship before the nations replays the royal psalm in which the LORD installs his anointed king on Zion while rulers conspire against him. The king-versus-the-rulers-of-the-earth frame gives Coherence with the Barabbas/Pilate scene, casting Jesus as the Messiah-king the nations reject.
