I was writing something today, and was unable to figure out the form of the word “Pride” required. As in the opposite of shamed.
He has proud his country? He has prouded his country? He has prided his country?
All Clearly stupid.
He has made proud his country?
Maybe if I was an eighteeth century British fop, but no.
What does that leave? He has empridened his country? 
Doesn’t sound too bad
This is driving me crazy, what’s the right word?
We could use a little more context. In the meantime, try:
honored
glorified
exalted
ennobled
Prided is a valid verb, but it’s usually used reflexively: “He prided himself on his business sense.” And it doesn’t quite mean what you want.
“He has made his country proud”? I don’t think you’re going to find a non-reflexive verb from of the word.
honored, revered, respected, lauded, glorified
I actually came up with those off the top of my head. Go, me!
ETA: bad connection here tonight, didn’t see earlier posts…honest.
“He has made his country proud”?
ETA: What** jayjay** said
English, being natural, isn’t 100% (or even 80%) regular, and you have just stumbled upon a small pothole. jayjay provided the best answer.
How much money do you want to follow me around this board and repeat that sentence after every post I make?
It sounds a little stilted, but I have seen the order rearranged to:
Thus, he did make proud his country.
Yeah I gave up on it.
I really wanted somthing that scanned the same as shamed, kind of a “best of times, worst of time” opposition.ie. “he has shamed his country, he has XXXXXed his country” I ended up with glorified, but since the rest of the writing is talking about shame vs pride, not shame vs glory, it stuck out annoyingly and I gave up 
“he made his country ashamed, he made his country proud”
So, you want the opposite of “He has shamed his country”, right?
He is a credit to his country.
There was a verb, to proud, in English, but it’s now obsolete.
OED:
Sense 2 would have suited you nicely. Of course, you could always try resurrecting it.
Hehe, Ill push empridened first I think, I kinda like that.
“He has done his country proud” is a common usage, if a little colloquial.
Whatever you ultimately decide, this kind of free and open exchange of ideas embiggens us all.
Whatever he asks for, I’ll do it for two bucks less
