rejoice
Feel great elation
Rejoice is to feel or express great joy or delight: The whole town rejoiced when the team won the championship.
It often appears in religious or formal contexts: Rejoice, for the Lord is risen.
The word carries more weight than simply being happy—it suggests celebration or exultation, sometimes shared with others.
