Psalms 45:10

8 All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces of ivory the harps make you glad.

9 The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.

Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house,

11 and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.

12 The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
