Thou, Lord and Master, hast given our rulers
and governors the power of sovereignty through thine excellent and unspeakable
might, that we, knowing the glory and honor which thou has given them, may
submit ourselves unto them, in nothing resisting thy will. Grant unto them,
therefore, O Lord, health, peace, concord (harmony or agreement), stability,
that they may administer the government which thou hast given them without
failure.
For Thou, O heavenly Master, King of the
Ages, givest to sons of men glory and honor and power over all things that are
upon the earth. Do thou, Lord, direct their counsel according to that which is
good and well-pleasing in thy sight, that administering the power which thou
has given them in peace and gentleness with godliness, they may obtain thy
favor. O, thou, who alone art able to do these things, and things far more
exceeding good than these for us, we praise thee through the High Priest and
Guardian of our souls, Jesus Christ through whom be the glory and the majesty
unto thee both now and for all generations, and for ever and ever, Amen!
