Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

'Sing to the LORD a new song' — enthronement-psalm new song before the throne reinforcing the doxological setting. Parallel to Ps 33:3; cumulative new-song tradition.

Medium confidence

Echo2

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

Rev 5:9–10

Hays: medium — adds the universal scope ('all the earth') that matches the Lamb's redeemed 'out of every tribe, language, people, and nation' and the closing 'we will reign on the earth.' Member of the new-song formula cluster; reinforces but does not uniquely control 5:9.

Medium confidence
Eph 5:18-21 ?

'Sing to the LORD a new song' is the recurrent psalter summons that the trio of psalms/hymns/songs evokes. Low volume given many parallel psalm-headings (psalmos, hymnos, ode) in the Septuagint; flagged for recurrence.
