pleaseth
Gives joy unto
Pleaseth is an archaic verb form meaning "pleases," using the old English third-person singular ending -eth that was standard until the 17th century.
It appears in the King James Bible and Shakespeare, often in phrases like if it pleaseth thee or whatsoever pleaseth him.
Modern speakers encounter it primarily in religious texts, historical literature, or deliberately old-fashioned speech meant to sound formal or reverent.
