Quote:
{20:130} So be patient over what they say and exalt [God] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.

I suggest,
{20:130} So, endure what they say and sanctify with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night sanctify [God] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.

Quote:
{20:131} And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.

Excellent translation.

Quote:
{20:132} And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.

I suggest,
{20:132} And enjoin prayer upon your family and be steadfast therein. We do not ask of you provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] watchfulness [of God].
