δια τουτο εχρισεν σε ο θεος
through (because of) - this - (he) anointed - you (acc) - ... - god
As previously noted: (grammatical considerations) "you" is accusative ... the direct object of an action
As previously noted: (grammatical considerations) "anointed" is the action which is received by "you."
The first occurrence of "ο θεος" identifies the "you" receiving that action. (anaphoric?)
"God has anointed you the god (of what?)"
"God has anointed you (as) god" ... Only if the "you" being anointed wasn't already god. [Samuel anointed Saul (as) king: before that Saul wasn't king.]
"Your God (ho theos sou) anointed you, O God, ..."
