📚 Historical Context
Aaron was Moses' brother and the first high priest of Israel, so the 'house of Aaron' refers to all the priests who descended from him. These priests were responsible for leading worship, offering sacrifices, and teaching God's law to the people. This psalm was likely sung during temple worship, where these very priests would have heard this direct call to trust God.
