Lyrics:

Al hanisim v'al hapurkan
v'al hag'vurot v'al hat-shu-ot

V'al hamilchamot she-asita lavoteinu
bayamim hahem bazman hazeh.

(And) for the miracles, and for the redemption, and for the mighty acts, and for the consolations, and for the battles that You performed for our forefathers, in those days, at this time.
