Is It Enough for Paul to Read Psalm 69 in Light of the Messianic Profile?
i think paul is just simply a good jew who knew the jewish story, and that's why it's not surprising to see him read texts like this in light of his messiah. For paul, jesus's death and resurrection provide what we talked about, that retrospective understanding of the text. And so for paul et, it doesn't matter that the original speaker of psalm 69 was sinful and foolish. He can still selectively draw from other parts of that psalm to make his point about jesus.
