rejoice

To rejoice: to be very glad, to leap for joy.

Where else “tagil” appears
in YHWHיהוָהyhva

YHWH

The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

it will rejoiceתָּשִׂישׂtasis

rejoice

Rejoice, be very glad.

Where else “tasis” appears
in his salvationישׁוּעָתyshuat

salvation

Salvation: the help with which God delivers from danger; also victory. The name "Jesus" (Yeshua) comes from the same root.

The context

8Let ruin come upon him that he does not know, and his net that he hid catch him; with ruin let him fall into it.
