Here’s a collection of traditional prayers commonly used for deliverance by the laity, inspired by Catholic tradition and teachings:
1. Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
This prayer, composed by Pope Leo XIII, is one of the most well-known prayers for protection against evil.
2. Prayer for Deliverance
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of His Precious Blood, and in the authority of His Holy Church, I bind and command all spirits not of the Holy Spirit to leave me (or the person being prayed for). I ask you, Lord Jesus, to send Your holy angels to protect and guide me in all ways, bringing me closer to You, and helping me to be filled with Your Holy Spirit. Cover me with Your precious Blood and let no evil harm me or influence me, in Your Holy Name. Amen.
This prayer invokes the authority of Christ and the power of His Blood.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
Who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,
Will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust."

And from the deadly pestilence;
He will cover you with his pinions,
And under his wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce any ties, bonds, or attachments to any demonic spirits. I break every chain, curse, or spirit of oppression that may be affecting me.

Let the Holy Spirit fill me and guide me in all things. Amen.
