Du celeste epoux Calm the rage
Calmez le courroux, Of thy heavenly husband,
Qu'il se montre doux Let HIM show himself kind
A tous qui sont a vous. To all those who are thine.
Du celeste epoux Of thy heavenly husband
Calmez le courroux, Calm the rage,
Que son coeur s'attendrisse sur nous. Let his heart be softened
towards us. {359}

"The Lord is a God of vengeance; but thou, O Mother of Mercy, bendest to
be merciful." [Deus ultionum Dominus; sed tu, Mater Misericordiae, ad
miserandum inflectis.--P. 485.]
The well known and dearly valued penitentiary psalm (129th) "De
profundis," is thus addressed to Mary:--
"Out of the depths have I called to thee, O Lady:
"O Lady, hear my voice. Let thine ears be attent to the voice of thy
praise and glorifying: deliver me from the hand of my enemies: confound
their imaginations and attempts against me. Rescue me in the evil day;
and, in the day of death, forget not my soul. Carry me into the haven of
safety: let my name be enrolled among the just." [De profundis clamavi
ad te, Domina: Domina, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuae intendentes in
vocem laudis et glorificationis tuae. Libera me de manu adversariorum
meorum: confunde ingenia et conatus eorum contra me.
