As I was reading in the book of Psalms, I came across this verse:
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
Psalm 119:139
It reminded me of this verse:
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
Psalm 69:9
Which then also reminded me of this verse:
“And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.”
John 2:17
Obviously Psalm 69:9 is a prophecy that points to the Lord's righteous anger when He saw the wickedness that was happening in the temple. This is made clear in John 2:17.
My question would be, is Psalm 119:139 another verse that points to Jesus and this moment where we see Him being provoked?

Psalm 119:139 states that the zeal has consumed David because his enemies forgot God's commandments.
Jesus stated, "Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise". The Jews here had clearly forgotten (or ignored) God's commandments.
Therefore, it sure seems like Psalm 119:139 is pointing to Jesus and his actions in the temple of merchants.
