blessed, happy(X -ier)

Concise Bible Dictionary:

There are two distinct applications of the word “blessing.” God blesses His people, and His people bless God, the same word being constantly used for both. It is obvious therefore that it must be understood in more senses than one. Again, we read that “the less [or inferior] is blessed of the better” (Heb. 7:77And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. (Hebrews 7:7)); and though this refers to Melchisedec blessing Abraham, the same thing is true respecting God and His creatures: in bestowing favors God is the only one who can bless. The Christian can say, God “hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies in Christ” (Eph. 1:33Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (Ephesians 1:3)); but the same verse says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” meaning “Thanks be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” This signification is further made clear by the records of the institution of the Lord’s supper. In Matthew and Mark the Lord took bread, and “blessed.” In Luke and in 1 Corinthians 11:2424And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. (1 Corinthians 11:24) He took bread and “gave thanks.” “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights” (James 1:1717Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17)). This is God blessing us, and for which we in return bless God by giving thanks, by praise and worship.
