My God and God of my ancestors, with mercy accept my prayer on behalf of this country and its government.

Pour out Your blessing upon this land, upon its inhabitants, upon its leaders, its judges, officers, and officials, who faithfully devote themselves to the needs of the public.

Help them understand the rules of justice You have decreed, so that peace and security, happiness and freedom, will never depart from this land.

God, whose spirit is in all creatures, I pray that Your spirit be awakened within all the inhabitants of this land.

Uproot from my heart hatred and malice, jealousy and strife. Plant love and companionship, peace and friendship, among the many peoples and faiths who dwell in this nation.

Grant me the knowledge to judge justly, the wisdom to act with compassion, and the understanding and courage to root out poverty when I can.

Speedily fulfill the vision of Your prophets: “Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.”

“For all of them, from the least of them to the greatest, shall know Me.”
 

Amen
