Deliver basically means "save". Death shall not save them from further
punishment. Killing them shall send them to Hell.
"Deliver us, Lord, from every Evil, and grant us peace in our day" - from

crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures
to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."
