Good one Otto :-)
Interestingly, the Eastern orthodox liturgy preserves the Peshitta version of this verse, when the priest says this in his prayers at the start of the service. Thanks for clearing up for me an area i was unsure which was right.
I assume the COE prayers follow the Peshitta, but what about OO prayers in the liturgy? Does anyone know is this verse used by them too? If so, then it is possible that all our various liturgies preserve a pre-corrupted version of the Greek :-) In fact, this would be an interesting area to explore... Greek liturgical evidence for primacy of the Peshitta!
