As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.

As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?

As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
