(Thou takest vengeance on us) you are censuring and punishing us (only forasmuch as we believed the tokens of our Lord when they came unto us. Our Lord! Vouchsafe unto us steadfastness) honour us with steadfastness when we are crucified and mutilated and make it that we do not return to disbelief (and make us die as men who have surrendered (unto Thee)) sincerely, following the religion of Moses.
