joyful shout, ringing cry, exultation
This noun captures ringing, joyful cries or shouts—whether in worship, celebration, or (ironically) brief wicked triumph. Related to the verb 'sing for joy,' it emphasizes vocal exuberance and jubilation. The term appears in both positive worship contexts and negative descriptions of fleeting pleasure.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Denotes a ringing cry of joy or exultation. Job 3:7 curses the night of his conception to be barren, 'let no joyful shout enter it' (רְנָנָה). Job 20:5 describes 'the triumphing of the wicked' (רִנַּת רְשָׁעִים) as momentary. Psalm 63:5 (63:6 Eng.) speaks of praising God 'with lips of joyful shouts' (שִׂפְתֵי רְנָנוֹת). Psalm 100:2 (100:3 Eng.) has a textual issue but involves joyful sound. The term derives from רָנַן ('sing for joy, shout'), emphasizing vocal, exuberant expression. Multilingual glosses show the joyful semantic core: Spanish 'canto de gozo/cántico,' French 'cri de joie,' German 'joyful jauchzt'—all capturing ringing, jubilant vocalization. 4×
