I am looking for the Hebrew translation of the English word "overflow" (verb, as in "to be filled or supplied with in great measure: a heart overflowing with gratitude"). The purpose is for a blog title for faith-based poetry and journals. Thank you.

Doron Greenspan MITI
: But since your solution is in the infinitive (=to overflow), I'd change it to present tense: עולה על גדותיו.

La-alot al g'dotav.
There are 3 words in total.
The first: la-alot is separated by a hyphen because the first "a" is silent", but the second is emphasized (sounds: hard aa). The word la-alot means to exceed. "al" means on/over. "g'dotav" - the g is pronounced like the g in girl, it means: bank, shore, rim etc.
Hope this helps.
