{27:70} And grieve not over them or be in distress from what they conspire.

I'd only change "grieve not" to "do not grieve",
{27:70} And do not grieve over them or be in distress from what they conspire.

Quote:
{27:72} Say, "Perhaps it is close behind you - some of that for which you are impatient.

I suggest,
{27:72} Say, "Perhaps has already come behind you some of what you are hurrying."

Quote:
{27:73} And indeed, your Lord is full of bounty for the people, but most of them do not show gratitude."

I suggest,
{27:73} And verily, your Lord surely has bounty for the people, but most of them do not thank.

Quote:
{27:74} And indeed, your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.

I suggest,
{27:74} And indeed, your Lord knows what their bosoms keep and what they declare.

Quote:
{27:75} And there is nothing concealed within the heaven and the earth except that it is in a clear Register.

"Register" translates سجل better. I suggest,
{27:75} And nothing absent within the heaven and the earth but is in a clear Book.
