How to read the transliterations
Hebrew
מִמִּצְרַיִם גְּאַלְתָּנוּ, יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ,
וּמִבֵּית עֲבָדִים פְּדִיתָנוּ.
בְּרָעָב זַנְתָּנוּ,
וּבְשָׂבָע כִּלְכַּלְתָּנוּ,
מֵחֶרֶב הִצַּלְתָּנוּ,
וּמִדֶּבֶר מִלַּטְתָּנוּ,
וּמֵחֳלָיִם רָעִים וְנֶאֱמָנִים דִּלִּיתָנוּ.
עַד הֵנָּה עֲזָרוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ,
וְלֹא עֲזָבוּנוּ חֲסָדֶיךָ,
וְאַל תִּטְּשֵׁנוּ, יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, לָנֶצַח.
עַל כֵּן אֵבָרִים שֶׁפִּלַּגְתָּ בָּנוּ,
וְרוּחַ וּנְשָׁמָה שֶׁנָּפַחְתָּ בְּאַפֵּינוּ,
וְלָשׁוֹן אֲשֶׁר שַׂמְתָּ בְּפִינוּ,
הֵן הֵם יוֹדוּ וִיבָרְכוּ וִישַׁבְּחוּ וִיפָאֲרוּ וִירוֹמְמוּ
וְיַעֲרִיצוּ וְיַקְדִּישׁוּ וְיַמְלִיכוּ אֶת־שִׁמְךָ מַלְכֵּנוּ.
כִּי כָל־פֶּה לְךָ יוֹדֶה,
וְכָל־לָשׁוֹן לְךָ תִשָּׁבַע,
וְכָל־בֶּרֶךְ לְךָ תִכְרַע,
וְכָל־קוֹמָה לְפָנֶיךָ תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה,
וְכָל־לְבָבוֹת יִירָאוּךָ,
וְכָל־קֶרֶב וּכְלָיוֹת יְזַמְּרוּ לִשְׁמֶךָ,
כַּדָּבָר שֶׁכָּתוּב:
כָּל־עַצְמוֹתַי תֹּאמַרְנָה, יהוה מִי כָמוֹךָ,
מַצִּיל עָנִי מֵחָזָק מִמֶּנּוּ, וְעָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן מִגֹּזְלוֹ.
מִי יִדְמֶה לָךְ,
וּמִי יִשְׁוֶה לָךְ,
וּמִי יַעֲרָךְ־לָךְ,
הָאֵל הַגָּדוֹל הַגִּבּוֹר וְהַנּוֹרָא, אֵל עֶלְיוֹן, קֹנֵה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ.
נְהַלֶּלְךָ וּנְשַׁבֵּחֲךָ וּנְפָאֶרְךָ, וּנְבָרֵךְ אֶת־שֵׁם קָדְשֶׁךָ, כָּאָמוּר:
לְדָוִד, בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יהוה
וְכָל־קְרָבַי אֶת־שֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ.

English
From Egypt You redeemed us, Adonai our God, and from the house of bondage You liberated us. In famine, You nourished us; in prosperity, You sustained us; from the sword, You saved us; from pestilence, You spared us; and from illness, bitter and long, You raised us up. Your compassion has maintained us to this day, Your love has not left us; do not abandon us, Adonai our God, ever. And so the organs You formed within us, the spirit and soul You breathed into our nostrils, the tongue You placed in our mouths—they will all thank and bless, praise and acclaim, exalt and honor, sanctify and crown Your name, our sovereign. Let every mouth thank You, every tongue pledge loyalty, every knee bend to You, every body bow before You, every heart be loyal to You, and every fiber of our being chant Your name, fulfilling the song of the psalmist: “Every bone in my body cries out, Adonai, who is like You: saving the poor from the powerful, the afflicted and impoverished from those who prey on them?” Who resembles You? Who is equal to You? Who compares to You?—great, mighty, awe-inspiring, transcendent God, to whom heaven and earth belong. We will praise, acclaim, and honor You, and bless Your sacred name, fulfilling David’s words: “Let my soul bless Adonai, and every fiber of my being praise God’s sacred name.”
