The feminine singular form characterizes cities in Isaiah 22:2, Isaiah 23:7, and Zephaniah 2:15; in Isaiah 22:2 the APB renders a city as full of shouts and a “jubilant town,” while Zephaniah 2:15 describes such a city as dwelling securely and speaking boastfully. The masculine plural forms occur with people or noise: Isaiah 13:3 places them among mighty men associated with anger and pride, Isaiah 24:8 says their noise ends, and Zephaniah 3:11 speaks of removing those associated with pride.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB regularly uses “jubilant” for the term in its descriptions of cities, people, and noise. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, its repeated wording confirms the verses' overall presentation without establishing a separate English equivalent in every clause.
