وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu a l rra h eem u
But, verily, thy Sustainer- He alone - is almighty, a dispenser of grace!6
  - Mohammad Asad

The above two verses appear eight times in this surah. Apart from the present instance, they conclude, like a refrain, each of the subsequent seven stories of earlier prophets, which - by means of their, in places, almost identical phrasing - are meant to stress the essential identity of the ethical teachings of all the prophets, as well as to illustrate the statement, in verse {5}, that a rejection of God's messages is a recurrent phenomenon in the history of mankind despite the fact that His existence is clearly manifested in all living creation.

In fact your Rabb is the Mighty as well as the Merciful.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And verily thy Lord is He the Exalted in Might Most Merciful. 3143
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

One Who is able to carry out all His Will and Plans. See n. 2818 to xxii. 40.
