For well-being

Weal for us be the lords of truth; weal for us the coursers and weal be the kine; weal for us the Ṛibhus, well-doers, having good hands; weal for us be the Fathers at our invocations.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Weal for us be the gods, the all-gods; weal be Sarasvatī with the prayers (dhī́); weal the followers (? abhiṣác) and weal the gift-following (rātiṣác); weal for us they of the sky, they of the earth, weal for us they of the waters.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Weal for us be the divine (devá) one-footed goat (ajá ékapad), weal the bottom snake (áhi budhnyà), weal the ocean; weal for us be Peru, grandson of the waters (apā́ṁ nápāt); weal for us be the spotted one (pṛ́çni), guarded by the gods.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Let the Ādityas, the Rudras, the Vasus enjoy this very new worship (bráhman) as it is performed; let there hear us them of the sky, them of the earth, also the kine-born, who are worshipful.

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

They who are the worshipful priests (ṛtvíj) of the gods, to be worshiped of man (mánu), immortal, right-knowing—let them bestow on us today wide passage (urugāyá): do ye protect us ever with blessings.

6
English · William Dwight Whitney

Be it so, O Mitra-and-Varuṇa, so, O Agni: weal [and] profit for us be this praise (çastá); may we reach sounding (gādhá) and firm standing; homage to the great sky, [our] seat.
