V. Oremus pro pontifice nostro Benedicto
R. Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciet eum in terra, et non tradet eum in animam inimicorum eius.
Pater noster. Ave Maria.
Deus, omnium fidelium pastor et rector, famulum tuum Benedictum, quem pastorem Ecclesiae tuae praeesse voluisti, propitius respice: da ei, quaesumus, verbo et exemplo, quibus praeest, proficere: ut ad vitam, una cum grege sibi credito, perveniat sempiternam. Per Christum, Dominum nostrum. Amen.

V. Let us pray for N, our Pope.
R. May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon
the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
Our Father. Hail Mary.
O God, Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, look mercifully upon Thy servant N, whom Thou hast chosen as shepherd to preside over Thy Church. Grant him, we beseech Thee, that by his word and example, he may edify those over whom he hath charge, so that together with the flock committed to him, may he attain everlasting life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
This one is from the Enchiridion of Indulgences and is based on Ps. 43. Source: Treasury of Latin Prayers. Here is a prayer composed specially for the occasion by Bishop Lori, the Supreme Chaplain of the Knights (of which I am a member).
