Search For God Rejoicing
I'm trying to do a Bible Search for all the verses where God rejoices/celebrates. I started with this search string:
<Person God> <Sense to rejoice (feeling)>
But it's returning results where God is not the one doing the rejoicing. I can't remember how to narrow down the search to only those places where God is the subject/actor. Can anyone throw me a line?

You probably want a clause search (Subject:God OR Agent:God) (Verb-sense:to rejoice (feeling)). The Agent is to handle passive constructions. I'm indexing at the moment so I can't test it.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

What's the reasoning behind excluding the agent term?

In all the passages where God is Subject he is tagged as the Experiencer. No results for Agent
