“You, Lord and Master, have given our rulers and governors the power of sovereignty through your excellent and unspeakable might, that we, knowing the glory and honor which you have given them, may submit ourselves unto them, in nothing resisting your will. Grant unto them, therefore, O Lord, health, peace, concord, stability, that they may administer the government which you have given them without failure. For you, O heavenly Master, King of the Ages, give to the sons of men glory and honor and power over all things that are upon the earth. Please, Lord, direct their counsel according to that which is good and well pleasing in your sight, that administering the power which you have given them in peace and gentleness with godliness, they may obtain your favor, O Lord , who alone are able to do these things, and things far more exceeding good than these for us; we praise you through the High Priest and Guardian of our souls, Jesus Christ, through whom be the glory and the majesty unto you both now and for all generations, and forever and ever. Amen."
