So, if this is supposed to be Jesus, are you, bkaycee, saying that Jesus sinned?
Psalm 69 is recognized by the Catholic Church as messianic. Is the Roman church also claiming Jesus was a sinner?

I know you already responded to this, though some see it not, but if i may add that as far i know there is not official RC interpretation of this, and it is estimated that only a few verses of Scripture have beenb “infallibly” defined, while the doctrinal paramenters of RCs have much liberty

the Biblical norm is that seldom is all of a section prophetic in which a prophecy is found, and if v. 5 disallows v. 8 from speaking of Christ, then it would follow that v. 9 is also not prophetic of Christ, which explains why the subject was rejected by his brethren.

And thus Jn. 2:17, which quotes Ps. 69:a, cannot be prophetic of Christ either, though the same gospel also records that “His own received Him not,” “neither did His own brethren believe in Him.” (Jn. 1:11; 7:5)

Nor can Rm. 15:3, which quotes 69b as applying to Christ.

In addition, while Catholics lack the extensive Scripture commentaries of evangelical, the conservative Catholic Haydock commentary applies Ps. 69:8 to Christ as well, Ver. 9. Mother. This might be true with respect to some apostate Jews. But it was more fully accomplished in Christ, who was betrayed by Judas, &c. (Calmet) -— His own received him not, John i. (Berthier)
