Psalm 89

Then you spoke in a vision to your faithful one, and said:
‘I have set the crown on one who is mighty,
I have exalted one chosen from the people.
I have found my servant David;
with my holy oil I have anointed him;
my hand shall always remain with him;
my arm also shall strengthen him.


I have no idea how the Hebrew 'ezer became "set the crown".

In every dictionary to which I have access this is "given help."

But I'm ready to go with it: In helping us God has crowned us, this confirms our identity as sons and daughters of God, this proclaims our role as servant and leader, we are anointed for profound purpose.

Psalm 89
