How the English word “exultation” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
EXULTA'TION, noun
The act of exulting; lively joy at success or victory, or at any advantage gained; great gladness; rapturous delight; triumph. exultation usually springs from the gratification of our desire of some good; particularly of distinction or superiority, or of that which confers distinction. It often springs from the gratification of pride or ambition. But exultation may be a lively joy springing from laudable causes.
