He picked her up gently and placed her on the bed softly, wrapping the blanket over her and making sure she was properly tucked in. He walked away and stood in the sitting area and kneeled facing away from the bed and began to pray openly, filling the room with his resonant deep voice:
Dear God in heaven,
My bare hand shall work the righteous work.
My shod feet shall walk the righteous way.
My naked eye shall read the righteous word.
My powerful shoulders shall burden the Righteous weight.
And my unsheathed blade shall soldier the righteous war.
Dear God on earth,
Defend me and my people and the people of all the points of the compass and please defend Karina, she is all I have left. 
Ameen.
