STRONGS G20:
ἀγαλλίασις, -εως, ἡ (ἀγαλλιάω), not used by secular writers but often by the Sept.;
exultation, extreme joy: Luke 1:14, 44; Acts 2:46; Jude 1:24; Hebrews 1:9 (from Psalm 44:8 (Ps. 45:8)) oil of gladness with which persons were anointed at feasts (Psalm 23:5), which the writer, alluding to the inaugural ceremony of anointing, uses as an emblem of the divine power and majesty to which the Son of God has been exalted.
