I believe the answer is:

psalm

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what priest might' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'en route back from las palmas?' is the wordplay.
'PSALM' is hidden back-to-front within the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'deliver' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for psalm that I've seen before include "Sacred Biblical song" , "Jewish hymn" , "Lamps (anag) -- song" , "Lamps for a sacred song" , "Church song" .)
