This is one of the many places that the old Testament actually uses the name of Jesus  (Yeshua in Hebrew). The quote is taken from "The Hebrew Names Bible".

In that day you will say, "I will give thanks to You, the LORD;

for though You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away and You comfort me.

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD, the LORD, is my strength and song; and He has become my yeshu`ah."
  Therefore with joy you will draw water out of the wells of yeshu`ah.

  In that day you will say,

"Give thanks to the LORD! Call on His name. Declare His doings among the peoples. Proclaim that His name is exalted!

 Sing to the LORD, for He has done excellent things! Let this be known in all the earth!

  Cry aloud and shout, you inhabitant of Tziyon; for the Holy One of Yisra'el is great in the midst of you!"

Psalm 62

1/8/03

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

     As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

     Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

     To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

     He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 3:17-22

11/1/02
(Jer 31:10) Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off, and say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and He will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock.
(Jer 31:11) For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of one that was mightier than he.
(Jer 31:12) And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: and they shall flow together to the good things of the Lord, for the corn, and wine, and oil, and the increase of cattle and herds, and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall be hungry no more.
(Jer 31:13) Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.
(Jer 31:14) And I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness: and My people shall be filled with My good things, saith the Lord.
(Jer 31:31) Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:
(Jer 31:32) Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, the covenant which they made void, and I had dominion over them, saith the Lord.
(Jer 31:33) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: I will give My law in their bowels, and I will write it in their heart: and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
(Jer 31:34) And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: Know the Lord: for all shall know Me from the least of them even to the greatest, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

10/1/02
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.
   Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
   The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.
   As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
   And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

   Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
   Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
   In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
   For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.
   So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
   O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?
   The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.
   But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

   Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:45-58

9/10/02
If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law, [and] if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
 
   For this commandment which I command thee this day, it [is] not hidden from thee,

neither [is] it far off.

   It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

   Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

   But the word [is] very nigh unto thee,

in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

   See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
Deuteronomy 30:10-15

   For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
   But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down [from above]:)
   Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
   But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
   That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
   For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
   For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.
   For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.

   For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:5-13
 

8/24/02
Phi 4:1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
Phi 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
Phi 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Phi 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Phi 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
 
1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
 Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Jam 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Jam 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Jam 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

       Jam 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to
       God. Resist the devil, and he will flee
       from you.
       2Co 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in
       infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,
       in persecutions, in distresses for
       Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then
       am I strong.

1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, in as much as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Rom 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Rom 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Rom 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Joel 2:1,12-17

Zephaniah (Tzefanyah) 3:7-9,14-20

Ephesians 2:5-9,14-18

4/2/02
Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

   Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:

   According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:
 
   Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself,

according to the good pleasure of His will,
   To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved.

   In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins,

 according to the riches of his grace;
 
   Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
   Having made known unto us the mystery of His will,

 according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself:
   That in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in Him:

3/28/02
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?
O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],
He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
 But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.
 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother's belly.
 Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none to help.
Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round.
 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
 I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.
 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns

Psalm 22:1-21

Job 22:21-26

Zechariah 12:1-4,8-10

  Therefore will I save My flock, and they shall no more be a prey;

and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
 
   And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, [even] My servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
   And I the LORD will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it].

   And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
 
   And I will make them and the places round about My hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
   And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

Ezekiel 34:11,12,22-27

Galatians 2:20

Psalm 111

Psalms 90:1-2

3/7/02
   For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD;

and [there is] none else. 
  
   I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth:

I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
  
   Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye [that are] escaped of the nations:

they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god [that] cannot save. 
  
   Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me.
  
   Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:

for I [am] God, and [there is] none else. 

Isaiah 45:18-22

3/15/03
(Rev 1:3) Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.

(Rev 1:4) John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him Who is and Who was and Who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,
(Rev 1:5) and from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him Who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood--
(Rev 1:6) and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father--to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
(Rev 1:7) BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.

(Rev 1:8) "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty."

Revelation 1:3-8

2/15/03
   Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
By a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh;
And [having] an High Priest over the house of God;
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for He [is] faithful that promised;)

   And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

   For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith He was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth] unto Me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people.

[It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hebrews 10:19-31

11/13/02
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command thee this day:
Lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein];
And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that He might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of [mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth.

 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish his covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day.

Deut 8:11-18

!0/20/02
(1Jo 1:1) That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
(1Jo 1:2) (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
(1Jo 1:3) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
(1Jo 1:4) And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
(1Jo 1:5) This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
(1Jo 1:6) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
(1Jo 1:7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
(1Jo 1:8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
(1Jo 1:9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1Jo 1:10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
(Rom 3:23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
(Rom 3:24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
(Rom 3:25) Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
(Rom 3:26) To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.


9/20/60
For we know in part,
and we prophesy in part.
   But when that which is perfect is come,
   Then that which is in part shall be done away.

   When I was a child,
   I spake as a child,
   I understood as a child,
   I thought as a child:

   But when I became a man, I put away childish things.
   For now we see through a glass, darkly;
   But then face to face:

   Now I know in part;
   But then shall I know even as also I am known.

   And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
   And I John saw the holy city,

   New Jerusalem,

   Coming down from God out of heaven,  
   Prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
 
   And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men,
   And He will dwell with them,
   And they shall be His people,
   And God Himself shall be with them,
   [And be] their God.

   And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;

   And there shall be no more death,

   Neither sorrow,

   Nor crying,

   Neither shall there be any more pain:

   For the former things are passed away.
   And he that sat upon the throne said,
   Behold, I make all things new.
  
   And He said unto me,
   Write:
   For these words are true and faithful.

   And He said unto me,
   It is done.

   I am Alpha and Omega,
   The Beginning and the End.
  
   I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

1 Corinthians 13:9-12, Revelation 21:1-6

8/27/02
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all His commandments which I command thee this day,

that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
   And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee,

if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

   Blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the field.
   Blessed [shall be] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
   Blessed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.
   Blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and blessed [shalt ] thou [be] when thou goest out.
   The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
   The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and He shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
   The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto Himself, as He hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in His ways

Deuteronomy 28 1-9    

6/30/02
How lovely is Your tabernacle, O LORD of hosts!
   My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the LORD;
   My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

   Even the sparrow has found a home,

   And the swallow a nest for herself, Where she may lay her young

   Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God.

   Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You.
Selah

   Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,

   Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

   As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring;

   The rain also covers it with pools.

   They go from strength to strength;

   Each one appears before God in Zion.

   O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob!
Selah

   O God, behold our shield, And look upon the face of Your anointed.

   For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
   I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
   Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

   For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
   The LORD will give grace and glory;
   No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.
   O LORD of hosts,
   Blessed is the man who trusts in You!

Psalm 84
