Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'

Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!

Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,

He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.

And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.

Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,

For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He hath cut.

O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield is He.'

Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age is His kindness.

As the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt of his robes,

O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,

To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,
