A Psalm of David:
The LORD says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

Even if you wanted to attribute the psalm to Jesus, it would only show his submissive nature compared to God. As Jesus himself said in the NT, he could not do anything by himself. God did everything.
So those Christians who try to conflate the psalm and apply it to Jesus are simply opening up a different can of worms.

The preaching of the imminent arrival of the Kingdom of God had an unmistakably political character.35 The establishment of God’s will ‘on earth’ (Mt. 6.10/Lk. 11.2) would leave no place for the Roman rule, as it entails the longing for an approaching national deliverance.
15) Jesus promised that his twelve disciples would sit on thrones to judge and rule Israel’s twelve restored tribes, what implies the disappearance of the actual rulers of Israel, both Romans and Jews.36

That Jesus preached nonviolence remains virtually
a dogma.6 And even among scholars who refer to Jesus as ‘revolutionary’, most
of them deny that he was involved in some kind of subversive armed activity
