Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Rev 15:2-4

'All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord, and glorify your name' (LXX Ps 85:9) supplies nearly verbatim the universal-worship clause of v.4 ('all the nations will come and worship before you... glorify your name'). High verbal volume.

High confidence

Echo1

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

2 Thess 1:11-12 ?

The glorifying of the Lord's name among believers echoes the psalmist's expectation that all nations will come, worship, and glorify God's name. The eschatological honoring of the name underlies 1:12. A faint, diffuse contact within a common biblical topos.
