שִׁירָא דְאִתְאַמֵר עַל מַסוּקִין דִתְהוֹמָא אֶזְקוֹף עֵינַי לְטוּרַיָא מִן הָאן יֵיתֵי סַעֲדִי:

The Psalms Targum: An English Translation (Edward M. Cook)

The song that is said on the ascents from the abyss. I raise up my eyes to the mountains — from where comes my help?

סַעֲדִי מִן קֳדָם יְיָ דַעֲבַד שְׁמַיָא וְאַרְעָא:

The Psalms Targum: An English Translation (Edward M. Cook)

My help is from before Adonai, who made the heaven and earth.

לָא יִתֵּן לְאִתְמוֹטָטָא רִגְלָךְ לָא נָיֵם נָטְרָךְ:

The Psalms Targum: An English Translation (Edward M. Cook)

He will not make your feet totter, unsleeping is your Guardian.

הָא לָא נָיֵם וְלָא יִדְמוּךְ נָטַר יִשְׂרָאֵל:

Behold — unsleeping and unresting is the guardian of Israel.

יְיָ יִנְטְרִנָךְ יְיָ יְטַלֵל עֲלָךְ עַל סְטַר יְמִינָךְ:

Adonai will guard you. Adonai will cast shade upon you on account of the mezuzah that is affixed to the right side of your entrance.

יֵימָם כַּד שְׁלִיט שִׁמְשָׁא לָא יִמְחוּנָךְ צַפְרִירֵי וְלֵילֵי כַּד שַׁלִיט סִיהֲרָא בְּלֵילְיָא:

The Psalms Targum: An English Translation (Edward M. Cook)

In the day, when the sun rules, the zephyrs will not strike you; nor the lilin, when the moon rules in the night.

The Psalms Targum: An English Translation (Edward M. Cook)

The word of Adonai will guard you from all evil, will guard your soul.

יְיָ יִנְטוֹר מַפְקָךְ לִפְרַגְמַטְיָא וּמַעֲלָךְ לְמֶעֱסַק בְּאוֹרַיְתָא מִן הַשְׁתָּא וְעַד עַלְמָא:

The Psalms Targum: An English Translation (Edward M. Cook)

Adonai will guard your going out to business and your going in to engage in Torah from now and until forever.
