Aa, Dikaukandíz!  Timás ualassákua!
Uidáana labí suttakíiz susisúgitannu suttakíili uppátanva
Lufaissí pizikkás suttakíi fazlutál pifúnu
Dazlásfli uaftlái suttakíif fiuíntan

Ah, Chief Goddess-child!  Hear my prayer!
Comfort those who have lost loved ones
Bring those who have done this to the Light
Bless the souls of those who died

As an aside, I have created a new word in the wake of these events.  I
went to the blood bank, and there was an enormous line, they said it
would be several hours.  I got an appointment for tomorrow, but got to
thinking.  It's an inconvenience, but it's a GOOD thing that the
inconvenience exists.  It's good that people are coming in such enormous
numbers to the blood bank, many of whom have probably never given blood
before.  So, I created a word to describe that situation, where
something is an inconvenience, yet a good thing.  The word is
_uataskláa_, derived from tas- "for a good purpose", and an archaic word
_kláa_ "inconvenience, nuisance".  The adjective would be _tasklakiása_
