What Does This Mean?
This verse asks God to pour out his wrath on those who do not know him or call upon his name.

The key message is about justice and the desire for those who have not acknowledged God to face the consequences.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a favorite toy and you want everyone to know how great it is. But some kids never play with it or even ask to play with it. You might feel sad and wish those kids could see how great the toy really is. This verse is like that, but for God and his people wishing others could know God too.
Historical Background
This verse is from Psalm 79, written by an unknown author, possibly during the Babylonian exile.
