Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at

HYMN XCVIII

1That we may win us wealth and spoil we poets verily call on
  thee.
 In war men call on thee, Indra, the hero's Lord, in the steed's,
  race-course call on thee.
2As such, O Wonderful whose hand holds thunder, praised as
  mighty, Caster of the Stone.
 Pour on us boldly, Indra, kie and chariot-steeds, ever to be the
  conqueror's strength.
