1 “You, Lord and Master, have given them the power of sovereignty through Your excellent and indescribable might, so that we, knowing the glory and honor You have given them, may submit to them, not resisting Your will in anything.⁠a Grant them therefore, Lord, health, peace, harmony, stability, so that they may administer without fault the government You have given them.” 2 “For You, heavenly Master, King of the ages, give to the sons of men glory and honor and power over all things on the earth. Lord, direct their counsel according to what is good and pleasing in Your sight, so that, administering in peace and gentleness with Godliness the power You have given them, they may obtain Your favor.” 3 “You who alone are able to do these things, and things far better 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 to You both now and for all generations and forever and ever. Amen.”
