Psalms 128:3

128:3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine ¹ 

in the inner rooms of your house;

your children ²  will be like olive branches,

as they sit all around your table.

[128:3]  ¹ sn The metaphor of the fruitful vine pictures the wife as fertile; she will give her husband numerous children (see the next line).

[128:3]  ² tn One could translate “sons” (see Ps 127:3 and the note on the word “sons” there), but here the term seems to refer more generally to children of both genders.
