Psalms 45:15
13 All glorious is the princess in her chamber; her gown is embroidered with gold.
14 In colorful garments she is led to the king; her virgin companions are brought before you.
They are led in with joy and gladness; they enter the palace of the king.
16 Your sons will succeed your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.
17 I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.
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.
