In the Durga Saptashati we have a section called 'aparājitā stotram' where many verses occur which have all words in common except for one particular word.

This is one among them:

Ya Devi sarva bhuteshu Bhrānti-rupena samsthitha ; Namastasye Namastasye Namastasye Namo Namaha.

The Mother Divine is present as confusion and delusion in every being..

One can read the full stotram with meaning in English here:

The final message is: every trait, positive or otherwise, is a manifestation of that Supreme Power. These powers are actually expressions of the three guna-s Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. It is with viveka, discrimination, that one has to handle them in one's efforts to achieve his goals.

Here one can read the stotram in many language scripts

Please read the spelling-corrected verse here:

Ya Devi sarva bhuteshu Bhrānti-rupena samsthithā ; Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namaha.
