Psalm 20:4
Douay-Rheims
For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
Rashi
For You have preceded him with the blessings of the good man Before I asked You, You preceded me with Your blessing through Nathan the prophet (in II Sam. 7:12f.): “then I will raise up your seed...and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.” You have placed a gold crown on his head (As in II Sam. 12:30): “And he took the crown of Malkam...and it was [set] upon David’s head.”
