How do we know that Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of Psalm 69?

The fulfillment of Psalm 69 in Christ is seen through explicit New Testament citations. For example, His statement to His disciples about being hated without a cause in John 15 highlights the prophecy of verse four. Additionally, Jesus' actions, such as driving out the money changers from the temple—echoed in verse nine—illustrate the zeal for God's house that characterized His earthly ministry. The connection is not only one of quotation but also of the deeper theological reality that Jesus embodies the sufferings depicted in the psalm, thus validating its messianic implications. Notably, the various reproaches faced by Jesus resonate with the narrative of this psalm, affirming its prophetic nature.
