One of the ways Satan attempts to destroy the Church, the Ark of Salvation, is by deforming its language, the language of worship. We see this clearly in the liturgical revisions of the 1970s and '80s. These were supposed to make the language of corporate prayer available to all and succeeded in turning everyone off.
Why? Because the revisions were rubbish, the language ugly, banal, and unprayable. Here's the modern, ahem, Nunc Dimittis from the 1979 Episcopalien Book of Common Prayer, I believe it's common to the Breviary:
Lord, you now have set your servant free *to go in peace as you have promised;For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, *whom you have prepared for all the world to see:A Light to enlighten the nations, *and the glory of your people Israel.
LORD, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,* according to thy word.For mine eyes have seen * thy salvation,Which thou hast prepared * before the face of all people;To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, *and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
