you have gladdened

Rootשמח (ś-m-ḥ)
Core Meaningsjoy, gladness, brightness, rejoicing, cheer
Semantic Rangeto be glad, to rejoice, to make glad, to cheer, to cause joy, to celebrate
Conceptual SignificanceJoy in the Hebrew Bible is often depicted as a divinely granted state or a response to God’s saving acts. The causative form highlights the active role of one who brings joy—frequently God or a covenant partner—emphasizing that gladness is something imparted, not merely felt internally.
Morphological NotesVerb from שמח in the Piel stem (intensive/causative), perfect (completed action), 2nd person masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe root שמח conveys joy or brightened emotion. In the Piel stem, it takes a factitive/causative nuance, meaning to cause someone to rejoice or to gladden. The perfect 2nd masculine singular form is reflected in "you have gladdened," preserving both the completed action and the singular masculine subject.
