Almighty God, who has given us this good land
For our heritage, we humbly beseech Thee
That we may always prove ourselves a people mindful
Of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will.

Bless our land with honorable industry,
Sound learning, and pure manners.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion;
From pride and arrogance, and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people
The multitude brought hither out of many kindred's and tongues.

Endow with the spirit of wisdom that to whom in Thy Name
We entrust the authority of government,
That there may be justice and peace at home,
And that through obedience to Thy law,
We may show forth Thy praise
Among the nations of the earth.

In time of prosperity,
Fill our hearts with thankfulness,
And, in the day of trouble, suffer not
Our trust in Thee to fail;
All of which we ask
Through Jesus Christ out Lord,
Amen.

Thomas Jefferson

 


I pledge allegiance
to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the republic
for which it stands,
one nation,
under God,
indivisible,
with liberty
and justice for all.
