אִתְּתָךְ הֵיךְ גוּפְנָא דַעֲבַדֵת פֵּרִין עַל שִׁדָא דְבֵיתָךְ בְּנָךְ הֵיךְ שְׁתִילַיָא דְזֵיתַיָא חֲזוֹר חֲזוֹר לְפָתוֹרָךְ.
1. like a fruitful vine | כְּגֶפֶן פֹּרִיָּה – A vine can yield hundreds of kilograms of grapes; so too the wife of the God-fearing man is blessed with many offspring.
2. in the recesses of your house | בְּיַרְכְּתֵי בֵיתֶךָ – See Malbim that just as a vine grows in the back of one's house but manages to climb to the roof and provide shelter to all, so too the wife modestly stays in the innermost parts of the home but nevertheless watches over and protects the entire house. Radak further notes that just as a vine might be planted inside but its branches move outside to the sun, so too the wife stays in the home but her children venture out.
3. like olive sapling around your table | כִּשְׁתִלֵי זֵיתִים סָבִיב לְשֻׁלְחָנֶךָ – An olive tree sends out tender shoots from the ground which surround it and are nourished from the father tree; afterwards these are often replanted to grow into trees of their own, similar in quality to the original. The image is an apt metaphor for sons sitting around their father's table, initially being nourished by him, but eventually moving off on their own while imitating their father's ways. [See R"E Samet, Psalm 128.]
