The real academy defines it as excessive joy, joy, satisfaction, a lot of excitement for something or someone. The action or characteristic that shows joy, enthusiasm, jubilation, exhilaration. In the religious sphere, there is talk of the excessive praise that is had for God, finding a joy to please him, attracting peace. Being a virtue that a Christian feels for being complacent about God's divine justice, feeling exalted to obtain divine grace and favor.
In our modern era it is a word of little use or no use since it is changed by the word exalt, which means to praise, highlight, grant greatness or give value to an object, thing or person. The word exult is used mainly for the praise that was given to God for all the benefits that his disciples obtained, either for the fruit of their work or for the obedience they gave to their beliefs towards God; manifesting a variety of feelings, they felt exalted or exalted at winning the victories that they dedicated to the creator.
An example of this was when the walls of Jerusalem fell, when they saw the collapse, they felt exaltation in their hearts for this fact and began to praise God with clamoring songs of exultant gratitude. One of the manifestations of the wonders of creation is demonstrated in the Biblical Psalms, since there King David praises in poetry where he exalts the wonder of a creation under the hand of a loving God.
