Since I appear to have lost the original posting, I'll piggy-back on 
Ken's.
As Ken noted, what we have in MT is a construct noun. My suspicion is 
that G read at least the same consonantal text, but had difficulty 
understanding it. Thus he made the best of the text before him: (1) 
construed &B( as a second person imperf (or possibly a sg imperative), 
(2) supplied an object (ME) and (3) construed MT's ETH as a preposition 
(= META).  To be sure, that does not make for a readily transparent 
Greek sentence, but it is in line with the translator's way of working.
NETS translates the line as: "You will fill me with gladness along with 
your presence."  Perhaps not the most common gloss for Greek META, but 
well within its domain.
