An example of contradictory statements:
Psa 45.6 “O, God”: Possibly the king's throne is called God's throne because he is God's appointed regent. But it is also possible that the king himself is addressed as "god". The Davidic king (the "LORD's anointed," 2Sa 19:21), because of his special relationship with God, was called at his enthronement the "son" of God (see 2:7; 2Sa 7:14; 1Ch 28:6; cf. 89:27). In this psalm, which praises the king and especially extols his "splendor and majesty" (v. 3), it is not unthinkable that he was called "god" as a title of honor (cf. Isa 9:6). Such a description of the Davidic king attains its fullest meaning when applied to Christ, as the author of Hebrews does (Heb. 1:8-9). (The pharaohs of Egypt were sometimes addressed as "my god" by their vassal kings in Palestine, as evidenced by the Amarna letters). John H. Stek, NIV Study Bible, p 831, ed. Kenneth L. Barker, Zondervan, 1985.
Heb. 1:8 “But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever.” The author selects a passage that intimates the deity of the Messianic (and Davidic) King, further demonstrating the Son's superiority over angels.” Phillip E. Hughes, Donald W. Burdick, NIV Study Bible, p 1859, ed. Kenneth L. Barker, Zondervan, 1985.
