Doug, I think Heb.1:8-9 flows with Heb.1:10-12 where the Son remains the subject. In Heb.1:10 we definitely have the vocative KURIE used of the Son and it appears to me that the force of the text (1:8-12) is to apply QEOS and KURIOS to the Son. The KURIOS in 1:10-12 is actually a reference to Ps.102:25-27 that the author is quoting from. It should be noted that the KURIOS in Ps.102 is Yahweh.
