For Judges and Magistrates
O JUDGE of all, let Thine eternal justice be meted out in every court of law; cause quarrelling to cease, and make all men reverence law, and live in harmony and obedience, as those who shall one day stand before Thy judgment-seat. May we find mercy then of Thee, O righteous Judge; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
