Psalms 45:17
15 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.
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.
