ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ

that had weighed so heavily on thy back?2
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., "the burden of thy past sins, which are now forgiven" (Tabari, on the authority of Mujahid, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak and Ibn Zayd). In the case of Muhammad, this relates apparently to mistakes commited before his call to prophethood (ibid.), and is obviously an echo of 93:7 - 'Has He not found thee lost on thy way, and guided thee?"

which weighed down your back,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
which weighed so heavily on your back,
  - Mustafa Khattab
Which weighed down thy back;
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
The which did gall thy back?
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
