Well, maybe it's not considered plagiarism, seeing as how the Lord wrote the Old Testament. So if He takes the words from the psalms and "makes them His own" in the High Priestly Prayer, that's not really stealing words, is it?
John 17: Sanctify them in Your truth; Your word is truth.
Psalm 119 (resh): The entirety of Your word is truth.
What's extra-nifty, though, is that the bulk of the High Priestly Prayer is about Jesus' praying for the preservation of His apostles and other disciples. They're about to face temptation. They're going to fall away. And He prays for the Father to keep them.
And that's what Psalm 119:153-160 is all about. "Revive me." "Plead my cause." "Redeem me."
