Pray For the Government

An ancient sage once warned the citizenry:
  Pray for the welfare of the government.
  For without the fear of its legislation
  Every man would swallow his fellow (man) alive.

This is in need of a slight change in the USA
For the Trump Presidency (2016 to ?):
  Pray for the welfare of the governed --
  That the leader not swallow his subordinates alive
