 You, O Lord, are king over all the earth. You bring ruin on wicked nations and their rulers and are no respecter of persons. Spare our nation and its leaders, O Lord. Let the conduct of our civil servants and of our people be wise, just, and honorable in accord with your revealed will. For the sake of Christ, be merciful to those who oppose you and remember that you desire all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
