A Prayer for Just Distinction
The psalmist prays not to be judged or punished alongside the wicked. Commentators like John Calvin explain this is not a random plea, but an appeal to God's justice. It's a prayer of faith that God, in His very nature, distinguishes between the righteous and the unrighteous and will not sweep them away in the same indiscriminate destruction.
