@Dottard.The link you suggested does not ask who the speaker is. – Alex Balilo Jan 21 '22 at 11:10

Ahh Alex - see Perry's answer below. It is only unclear to those who do not want to see. – Dottard Jan 21 '22 at 11:12

If you take the New Testament as authoritative it's the Father speaking to the Son.
For to which of the angels did God ever say, ... (Heb 1:5, ESV)
8 But of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
(Heb 1:8–9, ESV)
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (Luk. 1:31–33, ESV)
