Psalm 66:1-3

Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious. Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. 

The Palmist, king David, exhorts all who know Him to praise God; to observe his great works; to bless him for His gracious blessings. The psalm, working on the law that vengence belongs to God, acknowledges that He will deal with our enemies. Its a great reminder that our struggles are all in hand with God at our side. Yes, we might struggle, but the destiny of a believer is with Our Lord, which is a sure thing; something to praise Our Father for.

The counterfactual can be summed up in this simple poem for children:

Said the Robin to the Sparrow:
 “I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
 Rush around and worry so?”

Said the Robin to the Sparrow,
  “Oh, I think that it must be
That they have no Heavenly Father
 Such as cares for you and me.”
