Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you' closely renders 'Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you' (LXX Ps 54:23), the clearest scriptural source for the anxiety-casting exhortation.
High confidence'Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you' — the antidote to anxiety is entrusting provision to God, the heart of 'don't be anxious for your life.'
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you' parallels Paul's remedy for anxiety: hand your requests to God in prayer rather than carry them. Coherence with the anti-anxiety-through-petition logic is strong; volume is moderate since Paul shares the idea, not the wording.
Medium confidencePaul's wish that believers be 'free from cares' (anxieties) and devoted to the Lord faintly echoes the psalmic counsel to 'cast your burden on the Lord.' The anxiety/care language is generic, and Paul's point (undistracted devotion) is his own; the echo is faint and contested.
