my delight

Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun (חֵפֶץ) in construct form with 1cs pronominal suffix (-י), yielding "my delight." Occurs independently and within the proper name חֶפְצִי בָּהּ (Hephzibah, "my delight is in her").
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֵפֶץ derives from the root חפץ, expressing delight or pleasurable desire. The form חֶפְצִי is masculine singular in construct with a 1st person common singular suffix, literally "delight-of-me," hence "my delight," preserving both the root sense of cherished pleasure and the possessive morphology.
