ELECTION PRAYER
AN ELECTION PRAYER
Based Upon the Concordant Literal Translation of the Book of Psalms
By Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr.
With thanksgiving and worship we bring this prayer to You, Heavenly Father.
By You each of us has been supported from our mother’s womb.
You Alone are our Rock and our Salvation.
By the Power of Your Spirit, magnify for us Your Strength and Your Glory.
We see settled things being pulled down in the name of humanity’s progress.
We see Your Word trampled and Your Worship forgotten.
Evil ones seek to replace You and Your Anointed One with empty seductions and idols of wealth and power.
Expose those who claim to worship You yet ignore Your Precepts and mock the sanctity of life.
Expose the treacherous and the lawless.
Embarrass those who place their trust in deceit and extortion.
Cause the shams they are rehearsing against Your People to redound to our benefit.
Confound those who laud the moronic wisdom of the crooked serpent.
Let those who trace their imagined origins to random descent from worms, reptiles, and monkeys become ashamed of their stupidity.
Cause to stutter those who teach falsehoods to our children.
Make slippery and dark-surfaced the way of those carrying out wicked schemes.
Let the ridiculer become the ridiculed.
Let no boasters set themselves up in front of Your Eyes.
Ensnare in their own lies those who seek to entrap us in their political and social deceptions.
Let those with lips of slick words make their own subterfuge obvious to all.
Awaken out of their stupor those who have been seduced into embracing falsehoods.
Save us from the great transgressions of pride and arrogance.
Trip the stubborn who seek to exalt themselves.
Let those who worship their own backwards images in the mirrors of their conceit tremble at the mention of Your Holy Name, and make plain to all their hypocritical vanities.
You Alone are our Light and our Salvation.
Be merciful to us, and allow us to take refuge in the shelter of Your Loving Kindness.
Enable us to put all our trust, not in human laws, not in courts, not in democracy, not in the despoiling philosophy of men, but in You Alone.
Hear our appeal, Supreme Spirit of Light and Love, attend to our prayer.
Supervise our land and make it flourish.
Turn the hearts of all our people toward You.
Revive us as a nation and a people.
Crown our mountains with Your Goodness.
Dress our plains with Your Blessings.
Rescue our republic, born in loving fear of You, from all its enemies.
Raise up for rule those who have not lifted up their souls to mere idols, and have not sworn by what is deceitful.
Write Your Laws upon the hearts of our elected leaders.
You are our Impregnable Retreat and our Deliverer.
Hurry to save Your People, and approach us now with Your Wondrous Grace.
All this we ask in the Name of the Son of Your Love, Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
