Imagine you spilled juice all over your clothes. You'd want to be cleaned up from head to toe. That's what David is asking for, but for his heart and soul. He wants God to make him all clean inside and out.

Consider a situation where someone has deeply hurt you. Instead of holding onto the hurt, imagine asking God to wash away your bitterness and cleanse your heart from the negative emotions, just as David asks for his own cleansing.
