Phew, that's a toughie 
As far as I can remember - way back in the reaches of time - they could be something like Deus advigilare me and Deus commendare me - but it's been a long time since I did Latin at school
Oh, and welcome to h2g2

I think you are not rigth...
advigilare and commendare are infinitives!! That's impossible to make any sense!!
I do latin for 6 years and I'm finishing my course.

Like I said, it was way back in the mists of time that I did Latin 
back when slates & chalk were the new technology
