Had God brought us out of Egypt, And not divided the sea for us, DAYEINU!

Had God divided the sea for us, And not provided for all our needs for forty years in the desert, DAYEINU!

Had God provided for all our needs for forty years in the desert, And not fed us with manna, DAYEINU!

Had God fed us with manna, And not given us the Sabbath, DAYEINU!

Had God given us the Sabbath, And not drawn us close at Mount Sinai, DAYEINU!

Had God drawn us close at Mount Sinai, And not given us the Torah, DAYEINU!

Had God given us the Torah, And not brought us into the land of Israel, DAYEINU!

Had God brought us into the land of Israel, And not given us prophets of truth and justice, DAYEINU!

Had God given us prophets of truth and justice, And not been with us through our trials, DAYEINU!i​

Had God been with our people through our trials, And not kept alive our hope for return, DAYEINU!

Had God kept alive our hope for return, And not enabled us to make the dream a reality, DAYEINU!

Had God enabled us to make the dream a reality, And not given us the strength to build a vibrant dispora, DAYENU!​​

When we see God in every human being, AZ Y'HI DAYEINU!

When our banner is tolerance and compassion, AZ Y'HI DAYEINU!

When, with all God's people, we build a world of justice and peace, AS Y'HI DAYEINU!
