וְאִלּוּ פִינוּ מָלֵא שִׁירָה כַּיָּם, וּלְשׁונֵנוּ רִנָּה כַּהֲמון גַּלָּיו. וְשפְתותֵינוּ שֶׁבַח כְּמֶרְחֲבֵי רָקִיעַ, וְעֵינֵינוּ מְאִירות כַּשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְכַיָּרֵחַ, וְיָדֵינוּ פְרוּשות כְּנִשְׁרֵי שָׁמָיִם, וְרַגְלֵינוּ קַלּות כָּאַיָּלות, אֵין אֲנַחְנוּ מַסְפִּיקִים לְהודות לְךָ וּלְבָרֵךְ אֶת שְׁמֶךָ.
Were our mouths filled with song as the sea, and our tongues with melody as the multitude of its waves, and our lips with praise as the expanses of the firmament, and our eyes shining like the sun and the moon, and our hands spread like the eagles of the sky, and our feet swift as the hinds — we would still not suffice to thank You ... and to bless Your name.
Ve'ilu finu maleh shira kayam, ulshonenu rina kahamon galav. Ve-siftotenu shevach ke-merchavei raki'a, ve'eineninu me'irot kashemesh ve-chayare'ach, ve-yadeinu f’rusot kenishrei shamayim, veragleinu kalot ka'ayalot, ein anachnu maspikim lehodot lecha, ulvarech et shimcha.
