Psalms 45:11

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

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

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.

13 All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.

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.
