Psalm 93-ish

Verses 3-4 may speak to those with a connection to waters and seas, but I have spent my entire life landlocked.
So, this is one way this prairie native sees the power of the Lord revealed in nature.
(Revised from a 1994 draft)

The wind on the prairies has lifted up,
   O Lord,
    the wind has lifted up its voice;
      the wind has raised its voice with
        incessant force and
        terrible gusts.
Mightier than the thunder
  in the awesome light shows
    of the electrical storms,
mightier than the towering anvils
  of the thunderstorms and
  the whipping winds
    of the terrifying tornado -
the Lord on high is mighty!
