I did emphasise that I would have left out the word "men", not because I think it a wrong translation, but because of the sensibilities which The Silent Acolyte mentions. However, I still consider this new translation to be far superior to what has been on offer for the last 40 years.

I heard a priest omit "men" just last Sunday. I still can't figure out whether he held "usss" for a bit too long, or whether it was "us" [rest] "and." It all goes so quickly! Thankfully, I was listening specifically for this.

I used to often hear it done that way in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s - and I left the word out myself.
