Translation

They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

They did not revere Allah as He deserves to be revered when they worshipped some of His creation along with worshipping Him. Indeed, Allah is the Strong, and He created the heavens, the earth and everything within them due to this strength and power. He is the Almighty who cannot be overpowered, unlike the idols of the idolaters which are weak and powerless to create anything.
