Here's a sample prayer from closetprayerministries.org.

Praying For The President

.....In Psalm 101, David expresses his desire to please God as the king of Israel. He also declares his accountability to God as the ruler. David longed to be a godly ruler who pleased God and governed the people wisely and efficiently.
.....In this psalm, he lists his goals for leadership. These goals provide you with a prayer guide that you can pray for the President, George W. Bush. This prayer guide can be used for a variety of leaders. Yet, I would encourage you to pray this psalm for the President. Mr. Bush needs and deserves our prayers. It is our responsibility before God to do so (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
.....Read this psalm and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in your praying for the President. The following are some requests that you can make of God for him:

Verse 1:
That he will love and practice mercy and justice;
That he will praise and adore God

Verse 2:
That he will act wisely;
That he will live a life of integrity both in public and in private;
That he will sense and know the presence of God in his life

Verse 3:
That he will hate what is evil;
That he will not tolerate compromise in his life or in those who surround him;

Verse 4:
That he will keep his heart right with God and man;
That he would repent of sin and fight against it

Verse 5:
That he will hate and avoid pride, evil talk, and slander

Verse 6:
That he will appoint blameless and efficient men and women to positions of authority

Verse 7:
That he will maintain blameless and godly standards;
That lies and deceit would be unacceptable to him

Verse 8:
That he would labor with all his strength to eradicate ungodly, immoral laws;
That he would labor with all his strength to build a righteous foundation for the nation

That's great! Let me add Psalm 140 and Psalm 64. I was praying through these tonight.

Psalm 140:

1Rescue me, O Lord, from evil men;
protect me from men of violence,
2who devise evil plans in their hearts
and stir up war every day.
3They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent's;
the poison of vipers is on their lips.

4Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
protect me from the men of violence
who plan to trip my feet.
5Proud men have hidden a snare for me;
they have spread out the cords of their net
and have set traps for me along my path.

6O Lord, I say to you, "You are my God."
Hear O Lord, my cry for mercy.
7O Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer,
who shields my head in the day of battle ---
8do not grant the wicked their desires, O Lord;
do not let their plans suceed,
or they will become proud.

9Let the heads of those who surround me
be covered with the trouble their lips have caused.
10Let burning coals fall upon them;
may they be thrown into the fire,
into miry pits, never to rise.
11 Let slanderers not be established in the land;
may disaster hunt down men of violence.

12I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor
and upholds the cause of the needy.
13Surely the rihteous will praise your name
and the upright will live before you.

Psalm 64:

1Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
from that noisy crowd of evildoers.
3They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim thier words like deadly arrows.
4They shoot from ambush at the innocent man;
they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.

5They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, "Who will see them?"
6They plot injustice and say,
"We have devised a perfect plan!"
Surely the mind and the heart of man are cunning.

7But God will shoot them with arrows;
suddenly they will be struck down.
8He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

9All mankind will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
10Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him;
let all the upright in their heart praise him!
