Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The psalmist's peaceful sleep in trust—'I will both lay down and sleep in peace'—offers a faint counterpoint to Jesus asleep amid the storm (4:38), portraying serene confidence in God. The link is thematic and weak, included for maximality.
Low confidence'In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety' offers the OT pairing of divine peace with security from anxiety that underlies 'do not be anxious... and the peace of God will guard you.' Volume is low and the link thematic, so this is a contributing echo.
