Rig Veda 10.113.5: Mandala 10, Sukta 113, Mantra 5

Sukta 10.113

Devata: Indra (with explicit linkage to Mitra-Varuṇa as upholding harmony and ṛta)
Chandas: Trishtubh (probable; requires verification)

आदिन्द्रः सत्रा तविषीरपत्यत वरीयो द्यावापृथिवी अबाधत । अवाभरद्धृषितो वज्रमायसं शेवं मित्राय वरुणाय दाशुषे ॥

ādíndraḥ satrā taviṣīr apatyata varīyo dyāvāpṛthivī abādhata | avābharad dhṛṣito vajram āyasaṃ śevaṃ mitrāya varuṇāya dāśuṣe ||

Then Indra, in a constant surge of force, set his powers into motion; he opened out a wider field and pressed apart Heaven and Earth. The bold one brought down the iron thunderbolt, a saving good, for Mitra and Varuṇa and for the giver who offers.
