English Translation
26—O David! We have made you a vicegerent/ruler over this land. So govern people with justice and fairness, and never follow your whims and desires, or you will stray from Allah's path. Know well that for those who stray from Allah's path there is a severe punishment, because they forgot the Day of Reckoning.
