Deliver Me from Evil

Verse 1

Deliver me from evil, preserve me, LORD, from wrong; against the foes that gather be Thou my Helper strong. From those who plot to hurt me and spread their treach'rous snare preserve me, LORD, and keep me safeguarded in Thy care.

Verse 2

O LORD, I have confessed Thee to be my God alone; O hear my supplication and be Thy mercy shown; O God the LORD, my Savior, my Shield amid the strife, let not the wicked triumph who plot against my life.

Verse 3

Let evil smite the evil and cause their overthrow; the needy and afflicted the LORD will help, I know; Thy saints, redeemed from evil, their thanks to Thee shall give; the righteous and the upright shall in Thy presence live.
