Psalm 9:7-10
"They set up kings, but not by Me; They made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.
From their silver and gold They made idols for themselves-- That they might be cut off.
Hosea 8:4
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities.
For there is no authority except from God,
and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God,
and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil.
Do you want to be unafraid of the authority?
Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
For he is God's minister to you for good.
But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain;
for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.
Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake.
For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers
attending continually to this very thing.
Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs,
fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
Owe no one anything except to love one another,
for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:1-8
Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities,
to obey, to be ready for every good work,
to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable,
gentle, showing all humility to all men.
Titus 3:1-2
Then the seventh angel sounded:
And there were loud voices in heaven, saying,
"The kingdoms of this world have become
the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ,
and He shall reign forever and ever!"

fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying:
"We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One who is and who was and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.
The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,
And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth."
Revelation 11:15-18
And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven,
and my understanding returned to me;
and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever:
For His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom is from generation to generation.
All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing;
He does according to His will in the army of heaven
And among the inhabitants of the earth.
No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, "What have You done?"
Daniel 4:34-35
Cry to GOD for Help!
God be merciful to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us,
That Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations.
Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.
Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!
For You shall judge the people righteously,
And govern the nations on earth.
Psalm 67:1-4
Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a reproach to any people.

will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face,

Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered;

But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.
Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
By His name YAH,
And rejoice before Him.
Psalm 68:1-4
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs--
O God, to whom vengeance belongs,
shine forth!
Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
Render punishment to the proud.

How long will the wicked triumph?
They utter speech, and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.

Psalm 46:6-7
Pray for Rulers to Act In The Fear of GOD and with Wisdom
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority,
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the LORD and against His Anointed,
saying, "Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us."
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
"Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion."
"I will declare the decree:
The LORD has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'
" Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
Psalm 2:1-12
