To whom was the Lord speaking when the Psalmist said, “The Lord Said to My Lord”? How can the messiah be the son of David if David called him “my Lord”? Rabbi Tovia Singer responds to this age-old question by demonstrating that the Christian Bible deliberately corrupted the Jewish Scriptures.

Where is the “corruption”?
Matthew quotes Jesus who quotes the psalm, in the translation, almost word for word.
One uses the word “at” and the other uses the word “on” my right hand. Using the KJV translation.
The historical-contextual exegesis of Psalm 110 during the Monarchic period would likely have been read and understood to be King Solomon as the primary referent in these verses. The speech of the Psalm is most likely King David who gives a prophetic oracle to Solomon, similar to and consistent with the Davidic Covenant of 2 Sam 7. From a historical-contextual reading of Psalm 110 during the Monarchic period, there was no dubious idea of a deity Messiah sharing the essence of divinity with YHWH to form one God. This erroneous idea of a divine Messiah god was conjectured by the NT Authors whom postulated their own eisegesis of interpreting Ps110 beyond it’s scope in such a way as to introduce their own presuppositions, agendas or biases about Jesus, just as the NT authors did by exaggeratedly applying the personified wisdom & Logos/Memra literature/theology to (Mis) interpret the historical prophet and messiah Jesus after he left this world
“And (remember) when God will say (on the Day of Resurrection): “O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you say unto men: ‘Worship me and my mother as two gods besides God?’ ” He will say: “Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.”
“Never did I say to them aught except what You did command me to say: >‘Worship God, my Lord and your Lord.’< And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things." [This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world]
“If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise .”
"God will say: “This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) – they shall abide therein forever. God is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success."
"To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is Able to do all things." 5:116 – 120
