You, O Lord, gave them the power of sovereignty by your excellent and indescribable strength, so that we, knowing the glory and honor that were given them by you, may be subject to them.
2By no means resisting your will. Grant them, Lord, health, peace, harmony, firmness.
3That they may exercise without offense the government that was given them by you.
4For you, O heavenly Lord, King of the ages, give to the sons of men glory and honor and authority over the things that are on earth.
