O Most High God,
King of kings and Lord of lords,
Who rules the kingdom of humanity and gives it to who You will:
All Your works are right and Your ways just;
The hearts of the greatest in power and wealth are like streams of water You turn where You wish;
In Your great mercy and steadfast love,
Guide and direct our governing authorities
So that we may lead peaceful and quiet lives,
Godly and dignified in every way;
Draw our leaders always nearer to Yourself,
That they might do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before You,
Until Your kingdom comes in fullness, on earth as it is in heaven,
In the mighty name of Jesus.
Amen.
