The N.T. quotations from, and references to, this Psalm indicate in what way it adumbrates Christ. It is the psalm of His humiliation and rejection Ps 69:4; Ps 69:7; Ps 69:8; Ps 69:10–12. Ps 69:14–20 may well describe the exercises of His holy soul in Gethsemane Matt 26:36–45 while Ps 69:21 is a direct reference to the cross; Matt 27:34; Matt 27:48; John 19:28. The imprecatory verses Ps 69:22–28 are connected Rom 11:9; Rom 11:10 with the present judicial blindness of Israel, Ps 69:25 having special reference to Judas. Acts 1:20 who is thus made typical of his generation, which shared his guilt.
