AE 1148 [4]
. . . but let them pray,
"May the Lord be with us continually,
that He may lift up and turn His face to us,
that He may teach, enlighten, and lead us,
since of ourselves we can do nothing that is good,
that He may grant us to live;
that the devil may not lead us astray
and instill evils into our hearts,
knowing that if we are not led by the Lord
the devil will lead us and breathe into us evils of every kind,
as hatred, revenge, cunning, and deceit, as a serpent instills poison;
for the devil is present stirring up and continually accusing,
and wheresoever he meets with a heart turned away from God,
he enters in, dwells there, and draws the soul down to hell.
O Lord, deliver us."
