It is also one of the oldest texts in the Polish language. In the first part of the paper, the author focuses on the traditional language and style of the prayer. In the second, modern Polish translations of this biblical text are analyzed, especially with respect to unwarranted linguistic modifications introduced in this time-honoured text.
