{39:60} And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about God [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant?

I suggest,
{39:60} And [on] the Day of Resurrection you see those who lied about God - their faces blackened. Is there not in Gehenna (Hell) an abode for the arrogant?

Quote:
{39:61} And God will save those who feared Him by their attainment; no evil will touch them, nor will they grieve.

I like Aisha Bewley's translation of بمفازتهم as "in their safe haven" best, so I suggest,
{39:61} And God saves those who watched out [for Him] with their haven; no evil touches them, nor do they grieve.
