RV 4.54.1

अभूद् देवः सविता वन्द्यो नु न इदानीम् अह्न उपवाच्यो नृभिः । वि यो रत्ना भजति मानवेभ्यः श्रेष्ठं नो अत्र द्रविणं यथा दधत् ॥

abhūd devaḥ savitā vandyo nu na idānīm ahna upavācyo nṛbhiḥ | vi yo ratnā bhajati mānavebhyaḥ śreṣṭhaṃ no atra draviṇaṃ yathā dadhat ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Now must we praise and honour Savitar the God: at this time of the day the men must call to him, Him who distributes wealth to Manu's progeny, that he may grant us here riches most excellent.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
