Psalm 128:3 - Thy wife...

Thy wife H802 - The first form is the feminine of H376 or H582; the second form is an irregular plural; a woman (used in the same wide sense as H582).  Used 780 x in 685 verses.

Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman (H802), and brought her unto the man.

Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife (H802): and they shall be one flesh.

Last usage:

2Ch 34:22  And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect.

Only used 3 times in Psalms:
58:8
109:9
128:3

Provers 25 times 24 verses – this one echoes 128:3:


Proverbs 5:18 – Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
