Someone told me that Rachav wrote a line in Aleinu. Does anyone have the source and know what line it is, or at least know if this is true?

Indeed, one verse of Aleinu is intimated by Rachav when she says to Yeshoshua’s two spies (Yehoshua 2:9-11), “I know that Hashem has given you the Land because your fear has fallen upon us…. For Hashem your L-rd is the L-rd in the Heavens above and on the earth beneath.”
