Psalm 69:5

O God, Thou knowest my foolishness, and my sins are not hid from Thee.


So Jesus would never say “my sins are not hid from Thee” because Jesus simply did not Sin.

Since all of Psalm 69 is a first person narrative; it means that we are now saying 69:8 is about Jesus but the whole Psalm is in the first person.

“8 I am a foreigner to my own family,
a stranger to my own mother’s children;”

Same person speaks in 69:8 who speaks in verse 69:5.

You should review Messianic prophecies, the Psalms and how they apply to the fulfillment of the Scriptures with a priest who knows these materials. If you are at all familiar with OT prophecies in general, especially the Messianic ones, you should note that at times the speaker is revealing something future and then goes back briefly to their situation at hand and then back again. The prophecy of the virgin birth falls into this category. If you take the approach you are taking with this Psalm on what does and does not apply then you would conclude in Isaiah that the sign of a virgin giving birth was fulfilled in the time of king Ahaz. Look at that chapter (Isaiah 7) and let me know what you think applies to the time of Ahaz king of Judah and what applies to a time future and is Messianic.

Not to be toady about this but only from studying diligently and often the Scriptures do these things become clear. If you have a beef about a Psalm going from Messianic one or two verses to the actual supplication of the psalmist and back again, then don't worry because the disciples of Christ were originally 'lost' on these matters too. That is why we see in Luke 24 Christ opening their minds to the Law, Prophets and Psalms. They needed some huge help and Jesus left His followers with the Comfortor who He said would explain these things to us.
