to rejoice
cha.dah denotes rejoicing, shown in response to good and as an action denied to a night among the days.

In Exodus 18:9, the Qal sequential imperfect occurs as Jethro responds to all the good done for Israel; the APB renders the clause "Jethro rejoiced over all the good." In Job 3:6, the Qal jussive is negated in the wish that the night "not rejoice among the days of the year." Psalm 21:7 has a Piel imperfect second masculine singular, but the APB renders the surrounding verse in terms of the king's trust and stability, so its specific English contribution cannot be isolated.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses "rejoiced" in Exodus 18:9 and "rejoice" in Job 3:6. In Psalm 21:7 it presents the surrounding statement as the king's trust and freedom from being shaken; It does not isolate this term's rendering there.
