Greetings again ICHTHUS,
I suggest that this is a distraction from considering the obvious teaching of Psalm 110:1. Also you could use the same type of logic with Shepherd and Saviour and many other aspects of the status and character of God. God is the Shepherd of Psalm 23:1, and Jesus is the Good Shepherd John 10:11. God is the Saviour, Jesus is the Saviour. I was interested to look up the word "Mighty" in "Mighty God" and TDOT has an extensive explanation and part of this has the following: "The Hebrew root is commonly associated with warfare and has to do with the strength and vitality of the successful warrior."
Getting back to Psalm 110:1 we have already considered the distinction between the One God, Yahweh, God the Father and Davids's Lord, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As well as many other quotations and expositions of Psalm 110:1, for example Acts 2 and Revelation 3:21-22, I was interested in the following list of specific expositions of parts of Psalm 110:1 and Psalm 110:4.
In the following list nearly every individual word in Psalm 110:1 and Psalm 110:4 is expounded:
Psalm 110:1 Words emphasised and expounded
my Lord Matthew 22:42-44
said Hebrews 1:13
sit Hebrews 10:12
right hand Hebrews 1:3, 8:1, 12:2
until Hebrews 10:13
until ... enemies 1 Corinthians 15:25
Psalm 110:4 Words emphasised and expounded
The LORD Hebrews 5:6,10
Sworn Hebrews 7:21
Priest Hebrews 5:6
for ever Hebrews 7:25, 10:14
the order of Hebrews 7:11
Melchizedek Hebrews 6:20
Kind regards

I have clearly shown from the Hebrew use in the OT, that Adoni, from Adon, is used for Almighty God. I have also shown that verse 5, which in both readings, “’Aḏōnāy”, or "Yehôvâh", are used for GOD, and this verse refers back to 1, where we read of Adoni Who is at the Right Hand of Yahweh. It is very clear that BOTH Persons, Who are DISTINCT, as One is at the Right Hand of the Other, are equally Almighty God. There is not one instance in the entire Bible, where the Father is at the Right Hand of Jesus Christ, so the “’Aḏōnāy”, or "Yehôvâh", in verse 5, cannot refer to anyone other than the "Adoni" of verse 1. This is conclusive that Jesus Christ is Almighty God.
Using Isaiah 9:6 and 10:21, and Deut. 10:17, is not a diatraction but clear evidence that there are TWO distinct Persons Who are equally called MIGHTY GOD. As I have said the version of the JW's, the NWT, reads in both places MIghty God, as well as Deut 10:17. There is no point in quoting from works like TDOT, which have much bias information written by Liberals. The Hebrew of the OT usage for “’ēl gibwōr”, is translated as Mighty God. The Jewish Bible on a Jewish website reads:
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace", https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/yeshayahu-isaiah-chapter-9
and 10:21
"The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God", https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/d-varim-deuteronomy-chapter-10
and Deut 10:17, "For HaShem your G-d, He is G-d of gods, and L-rd of lords, the great G-d, the mighty, and the awful, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward" https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/d-varim-deuteronomy-chapter-10
