The Psalms are an inexhaustible source of “arrows” to let fly when the devil is on the prowl. “O God come to my assistance; O Lord make haste to help me” is always appropriate. Other verses become darts of fire that fly to the Sacred Heart and bring down blessings: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,” “Miserere mei deus, secundum magnum misericordiam tuum,” (Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy.”), “De profundis clamavi ad te Domine, Domine, exaudi vocem meam” (Out of the depths I cry to thee, O Lord, O Lord hear my voice.) are a few favorites.

So true.

Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Blood of Christ wash over me, protect me from the snares of the devil.

I am all thine, and all I have is thine, Lord Jesus through Mary, thy holy Mother.
