'Ark' in the Bible

And gave up His strength and power (the ark of the covenant) into captivity,And His glory into the hand of the enemy (the Philistines).

Hear us O Shepherd of Israel,You who lead Joseph like a flock;You who sit enthroned above the cherubim [of the ark of the covenant], shine forth!

We heard of the ark in Ephrathah;we found it in the fields of Jaar.

Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
