I always say it in Latin (Domine, non sum dignus, etc.) because the lame paraphrase - probably done that way to avoid using the word "soul," which might have implied something other than materiality and horizontality - offends me so much.

I say it in Latin also, for much the same reason.
I do likewise with the Gloria, among others.

Me too! When I'm at the Novus Ordo, I take a page out of the Latin Mass I usually attend, and say it once in English with the congregation and then twice sotto voce in Latin, with the requisite beating of the breast.
