"The Lord said unto my Lord..."
If possible, please provide additional scriptures or details to back up your answer. I wouldn't mind hearing from Jews, Trinitarian Christians, Non-Trinitarian Christians, Muslims, etc. All answers are welcome!

The Almighty God is speaking to Jesus. If you read Matthew 22:43, Luke 20:42 and Mark 12:36, you will see that Jesus refers to Psalm 110:1 in regard to himself. This is again confirmed by Luke in Acts 2:34, 35 where he acknowledges David as the writer of the psalm but that it is God speaking to Jesus. At Acts 7:55, Stephen beholds Jesus standing at the right hand of God just before his martyrdom. Hope this helps!

I think it's amazing how those who believe the trinity are always having God talking to Himself.
The Jews of Jesus day couldn't answer Jesus' question, why did David call his son Lord, (Matt 22:44)
The reason we know the truth of the question is because we've read Acts 2:34.
Is not because Jesus is God, but because
Jesus is the King of the Heavenly Kingdom (not just Israel) so when David is resurrected Jesus will be David's King.
Jesus is not God, because the scripture states Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God, and it is Jehovah who places the enemies under Jesus' feet.
Lord does not mean God, it means ruler.

Who is the Lord who sat on the right hand side of the power and was given every power in Heaven and on Earth? That was Jesus Christ the son of God. This same person is the one who King David refers to as my Lord. So the Lord is the Father and the other Lord who is referred to as King David's Lord is Jesus Christ the son of God. So the first Lord is God the Father, the second Lord is God the Son. In Romans 1:7, Paul says, " 7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
In John 1-5, John say, "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it.
In 1John 1-4, John say, "1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We write this to make our joy complete.

This is another scripture made confusing by the removal of God's personal name from most Bible translations. Notice that the first instance of Lord found in that scripture is all in caps (LORD). Caps are used when the word replaces the original tetragrammaton (YHWH), which is commonly pronounced Jehovah or Yahweh in english. The scripture should read: "Jehovah said to my Lord: 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.'"... The second Lord is Jesus Christ during his prehuman existence in heaven. This erroneous removal of God's name confuses people and gives false weight to believing in the Trinity.

many people believe in GOD, but refuse to accept JESUS as anything more than a great human teacher. but the bible does not allow that option. both the old and new testaments proclaim the deity of the one who came to save and to reign. Peter used this psalm to show that JESUS, the messiah sits at GODS right hand and is lord over all (read acts 2: 32-35) psalms is talking about JESUS

Scripture says of this that David was speaking by the spirit and calling God, and Jesus Lord. In Matt 22:44, Mk 12:36, and again in Luke 20:42...Jesus is speaking to the teachers of the law...the high ranking Jews, Pharisees and lawyers. They had been baiting Jesus and attempting to trip him up so they could discredit him. Jesus asked the same question of them...how could David call the Christ Lord?
Since the only answer they could give was that the two were one, they chose to remain silent. To have said the answer would have been to acknowledge who Jesus was and claimed to be, and this they refused to do.

This is one of the most cited psalms in the NT because of its clear references to the Messiah.
Matthew 22:41-45
Revelation 6-9
Revelation 20: 1-7
Hebrews 5-7
Revelation 19:11-21
Many refuse to accept Jesus as anything more than a human teacher. This psalm shows God's promise of sending the Messiah. Different books - King James, NIV are quoted different
My references states
"Jehovah said to my Lord the Messiah, "Rule as my regent - I will subdue your enemies and make them bow low before you"

God the Father and God the Son.
Hebrews 5, 7, and 8 are good places to read in re this particular Psalm. All of John is about God the Son.

It's the Father speaking to Jesus it's one of the passages where the Trinity shines through in the OT.
David composed the Psalm, and God revealed to David that the Messiah would be Divine.David is speaking of God saying to the Messiah (who would be from the Davidic line) that the Messiah will be David's Lord ie the Messiah, the Christ will be God.
BTW That's why David is considered a Christian prophet.

This is a prophesy of Christ sitting on the right hand of God. Matt. 22:44, Mark 12,36, Acts 2,34,35, Col 3:1 and Heb 1:13
