A defeated host are (all) the factions that are there. (11)

The folk of Noah before them denied (their messenger) and (so did the tribe of) A'ad, and Pharaoh firmly planted, (12)

And (the tribe of) Thamud, and the folk of Lot, and the dwellers in the wood: these were the factions. (13)

Not one of them but did deny the messengers, therefor My doom was justified, (14)

These wait for but one Shout, there will be no second thereto. (15)

They say: Our Lord! Hasten on for us our fate before the Day of Reckoning. (16)

Bear with what they say, and remember Our bondman David, lord of might, Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (toward Allah). (17)

Lo! We subdued the hills to hymn the praises (of their Lord) with him at nightfall and sunrise, (18)

And the birds assembled; all were turning unto Him. (19)

We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom and decisive speech. (20)
