Sukta 5.56

Devata: Maruts (with a prominent ‘vājī aruṣa’ figure—likely a chariot-horse or emblematic force)
Chandas: Trishtubh (probable)

उत स्य वाज्यरुषस्तुविष्वणिरिह स्म धायि दर्शतः । मा वो यामेषु मरुतश्चिरं करत्प्र तं रथेषु चोदत ॥

utá syá vāj́y aruṣás tuvi-sváṇir ihá smá dhāyi darśatáḥ | mā́ vo yā́meṣu marutaś ciráṃ karat prá táṃ rátheṣu codata ||

And this ruddy, prize-bearing, mighty-sounding one has been set here—visible to the eye. Let him not delay you long upon your journeys, O Maruts; urge him forward upon the chariots. May the swift instrument of force carry the movement without obstruction.
