{38:25} So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.

I suggest,
{38:25} So We forgave him that; and verily, for him with Us surely is adjacency and a lovely place of return.

Quote:
{38:26} [We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of God." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of God will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.

I suggest,
{38:26} [We said], "O David, verily, We have made you a deputy in the earth, so judge between people with the truth and do not follow propensity, as it [will] mislead you from the way of God." Verily, those who stray from the way of God - for them is a severe torment, for having forgotten, the Day of Accounting.
