satiety
so.va denotes being fully satisfied, chiefly through food and once through fullness of joy in God's presence.
The word most often marks being fully satisfied through available food or harvest: eating enough, receiving provision, or having food left after a meal. In Psalm 16:11, it occurs instead in the clause describing fullness of joy in God's presence.

Fullness of joy · rare
In Psalm 16:11, the construct form stands in the clause about God's presence; the APB renders that clause “there is fullness of joy,” followed by pleasures forevermore.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “to the full,” “to satiety,” “satisfied,” and “eating her fill” in food-related clauses, while Psalm 16:11 has “fullness of joy.” These renderings indicate the clauses' sense rather than a fixed English equivalent.
