Ises Bredren!
This is actually one of the most misinterpreted scriptures, (thank you Christian Missionaries!). If you read this scripture again bredren in your Bible, can you see a difference between the first LORD and the second Lord? In the OT, when God was called LORD, the word is always fully capital. The second word Lord, is not. Ones have tried to say this is the trinity, but that is incorrect.
What has to be remembered when discussing this scripture is what book is it from? The Psalm begins with the opening Hebrew words "Mizmor l'David." The word "Mizmor" means "a song," and thus the opening phrase of this Psalm is, "A Song of David." In fact, the word Psalms comes from the Greek word psalmos, which means "a song." This is unknown to many Bible readers.
If you go back to the original texts bredren, which is obviously Hebrew, you will see that the second word Lord in the Hebrew is "ladonee" which literally translates "to my master".
These songs were written mostly by King David, but for what purpose? David was a musician and poet. The original purpose for which King David composed the Book of Psalms was for the Levites to sing them in the Temple. The Levites would stand on a platform and chant these Pslams. Therefore, the Levites would read this lyric,
The Lord [God] said to my master [King David] "Sit thou at my right hand . . . ."
So the second Lord is King David.
Hotep brother!
