'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!

Behold, we heard of it at Ephrathah;We found it in the field of Jaar.

Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,You and the ark [the symbol] of Your strength.
