1 Timothy 2:1

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone—

2 for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity.

3 This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
