Psalm 45:17

I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.

16Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.
