"Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
"Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
"Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51: 6-10)
This prayer David prayed after he was confronted for his adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband Uriah. Every element of David's prayer has been met for us in Christ!
Jesus went past the law to the mercy seat and appealed to God for His mercy.
In the inward parts, God has made know to us wisdom, though His Son Jesus Christ:
"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:" (1 Corinthians 1: 30)
and
"To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. " (Colossians 1: 27)
Jesus took the hyssop for us:
"Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth." (John 19: 29)
The hyssop was a sign that the work of cleansing was completed (Numbers 19: 18), that Christ's death had completed the sacrifice, purging our sins forever.
All of our sins have been wiped away, and now we are clothed in white robes of righteousness:
"And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." (Revelation 7: 14)
In Christ, we not only here joy and gladness, but they are fruits born of the Holy Spirit living in us (Galatians 5: 22)
God has not broken our bones, and neither were the bones of His Son broken (John 19: 36), but He was bruised that we may be healed (Isaiah 53: 4-5; 1 Peter 2: 24); He was made poor, that we may be rich in Him (Ephesians 1: 3; 2 Corinthians 8: 9)
God turned His back on His won Son because He became Sin for us (2 Corinthians 5: 21), causing Jesus to cry out:
"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27: 46)
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God has given us a new heart (Hebrews 8: 10-12), one that is established in grace (Hebrews 13: 9), and He has quickened us with the same Spirit, who were once dead in our trespasses (Ephesians 2: 1).
You do not have to pray for these the things that David begged God for. What David prayed for, Jesus has given us in full through His death and resurrection.
