The MacArthur Study Bible/NKJV states of Psalm 110.1, "Using this passage, Christ also declared His deity in the Gospels (Matt. 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:42-43) by arguing that only God could have been lord to King David."
Ron Rhodes puppets this argument also. In his Reasoning from the Scriptures with Jehovah's Witnesses on p. 162 he writes: "Ask the JW's: Did you know that the same word used for "Lord" (adonai) in Ps. 110:1 of Jesus Christ is also used of the Father numerous times in Scripture…?" The argument is basically a lie, because the word in Psalm 110 is not adonai, but adoni, which is never a reference to Deity and always (195 times) a reference to someone who is not God.
Anthony Buzzard writes:
"Psalm 110:1 provides a major key to understanding who Jesus is. The Hebrew Bible carefully distinguished the divine title adonai, the Supreme Lord, from adoni, the form of address appropriate to human and angelic superiors. Adoni, 'my lord,' 'my master' on no occasion refers to the deity. ...The difference is one which depends on the Hebrew vowel points. It is clear that the distinction between adonai and adoni has been faithfully preserved since ancient times. The translators of the LXX in the 3rd century BC attest to a careful distinction between the forms of adon used for divine and human reference by translating adoni as ho kurios mou, 'my lord.'"The Doctrine of the Trinity-Christianity's Self-Inflicted Wound, p. 47
Finding this very interesting, I decided to test it out myself. Below you will see all, if not most evidences of adoni straight from your own Bible. I will start off with the King James Version (KJV) and then split off with other popular versions. The results are quite telling:
KJV
Gen 23:6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us.
Gen 23:11 Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee.
Gen 23:15 My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
Gen 24:12 And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
Gen 24:14 thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
Gen 24:18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Gen 24:27 Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
Gen 24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly
Gen 24:36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
Gen 24:37 And my master made me swear
Gen 24:39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
Gen 24:42 O LORD God of my master Abraham
Gen 24:44 my master's son
Gen 24:48 my master Abraham
Gen 24:49 deal kindly and truly with my master
Gen 24:65 And the servant had said, It is my master
The rest I will present in chart form comparing different versions:

N/T= "Not Translated"
All the above scriptures use adoni, and none of them refer to Deity. It is interesting that it is this form of "lord" that is used of Jesus, in Psalm 110:1. There are two other scriptures that are often applied to Jesus, and these are highlighted at Joshua 5:14 and Daniel 12:8.
Notice how the highly trinitarian CEV (Contemporary English Version), uses the term "lord" only once, and it is at Ps 110:1. Others have capitalized "Lord" at Psalm 110:1 knowing that it applies to Jesus, and others have felt the need to do so also at Jos 5:14, and Dan 12:8, as these might also apply to the angelic Christ.
The following are all the occurences that I have found in the LXX of TW KURIW MOU, which again, bear out interesting results, in that this expression is not used for YHWH (as the following, in brackets, gives the referent).

Again, we see that every time TW KURIW MOU is used, it is used in reference to lesser beings, never to deity. Is it any wonder that the Bible says:
"The Lord God will make him a king, as his ancestor David was." Luke 1:32 TEV
Sit at My Right Hand:
To better understand Jesus inferiority to YHWH (Jehovah/Yahweh), we must look at the phrase in Psalm 110:1, "Sit at my right hand." Many say that this implies equality, but can this be proven scripturally? The NIV Study Bible has this to say:
"The place of honor beside a king (see 45:9; 1 Kings 2:19); thus he is made second in authority to God himself."
It is interesting that the 2 scriptures used by the above study Bible mention queens. Since trinitarians argue that Psalm 110:1 affirms Jesus' deity, are then we also to assume that the above 2 scriptures affirm the queen's kingship?
The Conclusion:
"...those who actually companied with Jesus found him fully and naturally a man. He did not seem to them to be some indeterminate person from some halfway land in which human and divine were intermingled; he did not seem to them a kind of Greek demigod, neither fully human or fully divine; he did not seem to them to be so divine as to be inhuman." p.15, Jesus As They Saw Him, by William Barclay
We can see with the frequent references to Psalm 110:1, that the early Christians did not expect 1/3 of the Trinity to appear. What they did expect was a man, an agent of YHWH.
Psalm 110:1 is quoted by: Jesus: Matt. 22:44; Matt. 26:64; Mark 12:36; Mark 14:62; Mark 16:19; Luke 20:42, 43; Luke 22:69; Rev 3:21.
Peter: Acts 2:33-34, Acts 5:31. I Pet. 3:22.
Stephen: Acts 7:55-56.
Paul: Rom 8:34; I Cor. 15:25; Eph 1:20; Eph 2:6 Col 3:1; Heb 1:3; Heb 1:13 Heb 8:1; Heb. 10:12-13; Heb. 12:2.
"For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified." Acts 2:34-36 ASV

[ 27. And now this present which thy servant hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord. 28. Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of Jehovah; and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days. 30. And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel, 31. that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid. (David)] ASV

Again, we see that every time TW KURIW MOU is used, it is used in reference to lesser beings, never to deity. Is it any wonder that the Bible says:
"The Lord God will make him a king, as his ancestor David was." Luke 1:32 TEV
Sit at My Right Hand:
To better understand Jesus inferiority to YHWH (Jehovah/Yahweh), we must look at the phrase in Psalm 110:1, "Sit at my right hand." Many say that this implies equality, but can this be proven scripturally? The NIV Study Bible has this to say:
"The place of honor beside a king (see 45:9; 1 Kings 2:19); thus he is made second in authority to God himself."
It is interesting that the 2 scriptures used by the above study Bible mention queens. Since trinitarians argue that Psalm 110:1 affirms Jesus' deity, are then we also to assume that the above 2 scriptures affirm the queen's kingship?
The Conclusion:
"...those who actually companied with Jesus found him fully and naturally a man. He did not seem to them to be some indeterminate person from some halfway land in which human and divine were intermingled; he did not seem to them a kind of Greek demigod, neither fully human or fully divine; he did not seem to them to be so divine as to be inhuman." p.15, Jesus As They Saw Him, by William Barclay
We can see with the frequent references to Psalm 110:1, that the early Christians did not expect 1/3 of the Trinity to appear. What they did expect was a man, an agent of YHWH.
Psalm 110:1 is quoted by: Jesus: Matt. 22:44; Matt. 26:64; Mark 12:36; Mark 14:62; Mark 16:19; Luke 20:42, 43; Luke 22:69; Rev 3:21.
Peter: Acts 2:33-34, Acts 5:31. I Pet. 3:22.
Stephen: Acts 7:55-56.
Paul: Rom 8:34; I Cor. 15:25; Eph 1:20; Eph 2:6 Col 3:1; Heb 1:3; Heb 1:13 Heb 8:1; Heb. 10:12-13; Heb. 12:2.
"For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified." Acts 2:34-36 ASV
