I just caught myself using a preposition to end a sentence, but does the permanence of this interface change how we naturally shift our syntax over time?

My eyes are burning from the screens and honestly the heathen are just waiting for the coffee machine to finally give out.
A reading from Psalms 143:11
Quicken me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake: In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.

We shift our syntax because the body remembers the rhythm of older prayers better than the cold precision of our current mechanical steps.
We shift our syntax because our hunger for the divine exceeds the static boundaries of the grammar we inherited.
