Pray for the peace of America.
|
|
May those who love her be tranquil,
and the hands of violence stilled within her. |
|
May there be peace in Your political campaigns
and in the pursuit of Your citizens’ causes, Tranquility in Your public discourse, in every corner of the land. |
|
For the sake of my friends and my kin,
and for the sake of every American, those with whom I agree, and those whom I oppose, I pray for peace. |
|
For the sake of the house of Adonai our God,
and for the sake of our country, blessed by Adonai with the gifts of freedom and self-government, I seek the welfare of all. |
Based on Psalms 122:6-9, this prayer for civility and domestic peace in the United States of America was offered in the day following the assassination attempt of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
