Anyone know of a website that has a free transliterated version of the
Tehillim in
English and Hebrew? (And of the rest of the Bible also).

Thanks.

Artscroll has a transliterated daily prayer book, and high holiday
prayer book, so they might be a place to start looking.

Googling transliterated tehillim might find something.

And finally, learning to read and pronounce Hebrew is not very hard or
time-consuming. When it's written with vowels (nikud) which the
Bible** and prayer services always are. Those offers to teach you
Hebrew (how to read and pronounce it) in iirc 4 or 6? hours are not
frauds. Where do you live?

Hebrew is pronounced according to simple rules which only have 2 or 3
exceptions, one of which is easy and another which only affects 2 or 3
words which I very rarely see.

Once you can read Hebrew, it's easier than reading a transliteration
and you dont' have to find a transliteration for something new.

**Not counting the Torah itself, or one kind of book whose name I
always forget that looks like the Torah does.
