Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The same psalm opens by setting the king ‘above the sons of men,’ matching ‘above your fellows’ (v. 9). A contiguous echo from the immediate context of the citation, reinforcing the Son's surpassing rank (recurrence within one source).
Medium confidenceThe crowd's wonder at the 'gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth' faintly echoes Psalm 45:2 (LXX 44:3), 'grace is poured upon your lips.' Low Volume; the verbal overlap (grace + mouth/lips) is suggestive but the connection is contested.
