# Purify me ... I will be clean ... wash me ... I will be whiter than snow

Being acceptable to God is spoken of as being clean or white. God makes people acceptable by forgiving their sins. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# Purify me with hyssop

The writer speaks of God as if God were a priest who would sprinkle water on him to make him acceptable to God.
