1.129.8

pra-prā̍ vo a̱sme svaya̍śobhir ū̱tī pa̍riva̱rga indro̍ durmatī̱nāṁ darī̍man durmatī̱nām |
sva̱yaṁ sā ri̍ṣa̱yadhyai̱ yā na̍ upe̱ṣe a̱traiḥ |
ha̱tem a̍sa̱n na va̍kṣati kṣi̱ptā jū̱rṇir na va̍kṣati ||

On, for your good and ours, come Indra with the aid of his own lordliness to drive the wicked hence, to rend the evilhearted ones! The weapon which devouring fiends cast at us shall destroy themselves. Struck down, it shall not reach the mark; hurled forth, the fire-brand shall not strike.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
