Bible Study for Ministry, Christian Women, and The Pastor's Wife ~ I Am Glad, Part 2

Bible Study for Ministry, Christian Women, and The Pastor's Wife ~ I Am Glad, Part 2
     Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know the difference between the words: glad, rejoice, and joy. The following is from Strong's Concordance. Glad and rejoice come from Psalms 9:2. And, I picked another Old Testament verse for joy, just to keep everything in the original Hebrew.             That verse is 2 Chronicles 20:27. "Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies."
     Here's the results. The word I looked up, the Strong's Hebrew number, the Hebrew word and pronunciation, and the meaning.
