deliver us
Free us, please
Deliver us is a prayer formula asking for rescue or protection from harm, most familiar from the Lord's Prayer: deliver us from evil.
The phrase retains its biblical resonance even in secular contexts, invoking salvation from danger, suffering, or temptation.
It sometimes appears ironically or dramatically: Deliver us from another budget meeting.
