Be mindful, O Lord, of all civil authorities, of our armed forces, of this city in which we reside, and of every community and the countryside. Grant us peaceful times, that we, in our tranquility, may lead a calm and peaceful life in all godliness and sanctity. Be mindful, O Lord, of those who travel by land, by sea, and by air, of the old and the young, the sick, the suffering, the sorrowing, the afflicted, the captives, the needy and the poor; and upon them all send forth Thy mercies, for Thou art the giver of all good things.
