‘You shall break them with a rod of iron,
You shall shatter them like earthenware.’”

You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who called on His name;
They called upon the Lord and He answered them.

He sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron, whom He had chosen.

When they became envious of Moses in the camp,
And of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,

For He has shattered gates of bronze
And cut bars of iron asunder.

O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.

The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.

Oh let the house of Aaron say,
“His lovingkindness is everlasting.”

It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Coming down upon the beard,
Even Aaron’s beard,
Coming down upon the edge of his robes.

O house of Israel, bless the Lord;
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;

To bind their kings with chains
And their nobles with fetters of iron,
