Exegesis

The adversative conjunction ve {וְ} marks contrast leading to davar tov {דָּבָר טוֹב | dā-var tōv} ‘good word’, and the Piel verb yesammekhennah {יְשַׂמְּחֶנָּה | yə-sammē-ḥen-nāh} ‘makes it rejoice’ emphasizes restoration and uplift. This structure mirrors emotional descent and ascent in parallel Hiphil/Piel forms, which is rendered in English by balancing “causes it to sink” with “makes it rejoice” in natural word order.

In context — Proverbs 12:25

Anxiety in the heart of a man causes it to sink, but a good word makes it rejoice.
