How to read the transliterations
Psalm 33
Hebrew
רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיהוה, לַיְשָׁרִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּה.
הוֹדוּ לַיהוה בְּכִנּוֹר, בְּנֵבֶל עָשׂוֹר זַמְּרוּ־לוֹ.
שִׁירוּ לוֹ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ, הֵיטִיבוּ נַגֵּן בִּתְרוּעָה.
כִּי יָשָׁר דְּבַר יהוה, וְכָל־מַעֲשֵׂהוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָה.
אֹהֵב צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט, חֶסֶד יהוה מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ.
בִּדְבַר יהוה שָׁמַיִם נַעֲשׂוּ, וּבְרוּחַ פִּיו כָּל־צְבָאָם.
כֹּנֵס כַּנֵּד מֵי הַיָּם, נֹתֵן בְּאוֹצָרוֹת תְּהוֹמוֹת.
יִירְאוּ מֵיהוה כָּל־הָאָרֶץ, מִמֶּנּוּ יָגוּרוּ כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל.
כִּי הוּא אָמַר וַיֶּהִי, הוּא צִוָּה וַיַּעֲמֹד.
יהוה הֵפִיר עֲצַת גּוֹיִם, הֵנִיא מַחְשְׁבוֹת עַמִּים.
עֲצַת יהוה לְעוֹלָם תַּעֲמֹד, מַחְשְׁבוֹת לִבּוֹ לְדֹר וָדֹר.
אַשְׁרֵי הַגּוֹי אֲשֶׁר יהוה אֱלֹהָיו, הָעָם בָּחַר לְנַחֲלָה לוֹ.
מִשָּׁמַיִם הִבִּיט יהוה, רָאָה אֶת־כָּל־בְּנֵי הָאָדָם.
מִמְּכוֹן שִׁבְתּוֹ הִשְׁגִּיחַ, אֶל כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ.
הַיּוֹצֵר יַחַד לִבָּם, הַמֵּבִין אֶל כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם.
אֵין הַמֶּלֶךְ נוֹשָׁע בְּרָב־חָיִל, גִּבּוֹר לֹא יִנָּצֵל בְּרָב־כֹּחַ.
שֶׁקֶר הַסּוּס לִתְשׁוּעָה, וּבְרֹב חֵילוֹ לֹא יְמַלֵּט.
הִנֵּה עֵין יהוה אֶל־יְרֵאָיו, לַמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּוֹ.
לְהַצִּיל מִמָּוֶת נַפְשָׁם, וּלְחַיּוֹתָם בָּרָעָב.
נַפְשֵׁנוּ חִכְּתָה לַיהוה, עֶזְרֵנוּ וּמָגִנֵּנוּ הוּא.
כִּי בוֹ יִשְׂמַח לִבֵּנוּ, כִּי בְשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ בָטָחְנוּ.
יְהִי חַסְדְּךָ יהוה עָלֵינוּ, כַּאֲשֶׁר יִחַלְנוּ לָךְ.

ranenu tzadikim badonai, laysharim navah tehilah.
hodu ladonai b'chinor, b'nevel asor zameru-lo.
shiru lo shir chadash, heitivu nagen bitru-ah.
ki yashar d'var Adonai, vechol-ma-asehu be-emunah.
ohev tz'dakah umishpat, chesed Adonai male-ah ha-aretz.
bidvar Adonai shamayim na-asu, uvruach piv kol-tz'va-am.
kones kaned mei hayam, noten be-otzarot tehomot.
yireu me-Adonai kol-ha-aretz, mimenu yaguru kol-yoshvei tevel.
ki hu amar vayehi, hu tzivah vaya-amod.
Adonai hefir atzat goyim, heni machshevot amim.
atzat Adonai le-olam ta-amod, machshevot libo ledor vador.
ashrei hagoy asher Adonai elohav, ha-am bachar lenachalah lo.
mishamayim hibit Adonai, ra-ah et-kol-b'nei ha-Adam.
mimechon shivto hishgiach, El kol-yoshvei ha-aretz.
hayotzer yachad libam, hamevin El kol-ma-aseihem.
ein hamelech nosha b'rav-chayil, gibor lo yinatzel b'rav-koach.
sheker hasus litshu-ah, uvrov cheilo lo yemalet.
hineh ein Adonai el-yere-av, lamyachalim lechasdo.
lehatzil mimavet nafsham, ulechayotam bara-av.
nafshenu chiktah ladonai, ezrenu umaginenu hu.
ki vo yismach libenu, ki v'shem kodsho vatachnu.
yehi chasdecha Adonai aleinu, ka-asher yichalnu lach.
English
Sing to Adonai, O you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to offer praise. Acclaim God on the lute, sing to Adonai with the ten-stringed harp; play a new song to God, and let the shofar’s call inspire the music. For Adonai’s word is true and all God’s deeds are faithful. God loves righteousness and justice, the world is filled with Adonai’s love and kindness. The heavens were formed with God’s speech, all their hosts with God’s breath; the sea’s waters were gathered together, the deep stored in treasure vaults. May all the earth revere Adonai; may all who dwell in its lands tremble before God—for it was God who spoke and they came into being; it was God who commanded that they exist. Adonai overturns peoples’ designs, foils the plans of nations, but the designs of Adonai endure forever; God’s counsels, for each generation. Blessed is the people whose god is Adonai, the nation chosen as God’s heritage. From heaven Adonai peers down, observing every human being; from where God dwells, God surveys all who live on earth: the one who formed all their hearts discerns all they do. A ruler is not victorious because of a great army, a warrior is not saved through sheer might, horses do not offer a promise of victory, vast hosts do not ensure refuge. For Adonai’s eyes are fixed on those who revere God, on those who look hopefully to God’s love and kindness to save them from death, to sustain their lives amidst famine. We await Adonai, our helper and protector. We shall rejoice with God, as we have trusted in God’s holy name. May Your love and kindness, Adonai, be with us, for we have placed our hope in You.
