Psalm 128:3
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. (Psalm 128:3)
Fruitful vine.
The fruitfulness, gracefulness, and dependence for support of the vine is a fitting symbol of the loyal wife and mother in the home.
Olive plants.
The Hebrews considered the vine and the olive among earth’s choicest fruits. So a noble wife and dutiful children are the greatest gifts that a man can possess on this earth.
