ٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلْأَيْدِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ Qur’an Sad (38:17)
I s bir AAal a m a yaqooloona wa o th kur AAabdan a d a wooda tha alaydi innahu aww a b un
[But] bear thou with patience whatever they may say, and remember Our servant David, him who was endowed with [so much] inner strength! He, verily, would always turn unto Us:
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad
O Prophet, have patience at what they say, and remember Our servant Dawood, the man of strength, who was frequent in turning to Allah for guidance.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Be patient 'O Prophet' with what they say. And remember Our servant, David, the man of strength. Indeed, he 'constantly' turned 'to Allah'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Bear with what they say, and remember Our bondman David, lord of might. Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (toward Allah).
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

Have patience at what they say and remember Our Servant David the man of strength: for he ever turned (to Allah). 4167
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

David was a man of exceptional strength, for even as a raw youth, he slew the Philistine giant Goliath. See ii. 249-252, and notes 286-87. Before that fight, he was mocked by his enemies and chidden even by his own elder brother. But he relied upon Allah, and won through, and afterwards became king.
