Leader: We now lift up our cups of wine and cover the matzah, as we sing the following and recall God's promise to Abraham, emphasizing eternal divine watchfulness.

וְהִיא שֶׁעָמְדָה לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְלָנוּ, שֶׁלֹּא אֶחָד בִּלְבָד עָמַד עָלֵינוּ לְכַלּוֹתֵנוּ, אֶלָּא שֶׁבְּכָל דּוֹר וָדוֹר עוֹמְדִים עָלֵינוּ לְכַלוֹתֵנוּ, וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מַצִּילֵנוּ מִיָּדָם.

V'he   sheh   am'dah,  la-ah-vo-tei-nu,   v'la-nu.   Sheh-lo    echad   beel-vad,   a-mad    ah-leinu   l'cha-lo-tei-nu.  Eh-la   she-b'chol    dor    va-dor,   om'deem   ah-lei-nu    l'cha-lo-tei-nu,     v'ha-ka-dosh   Bah-ruch    hoo   matz-ee-lei-nu   mi-yah-dam.

This covenant that remained constant for our ancestors and for us has saved us against any who arose to destroy us in every generation, and throughout history when any stood against us to annihilate us, the Kadosh Barukh Hu kept saving us from them.
