List the database privileges using psql
postgres=> \l
List of databases

The docs on Privileges give an explanation of how to interpret the output. For specific privileges on a table of the current database, use \z myTable
.
perhaps you mean listing users and their privileges for a database - I can't quite tell from the question:
postgres=> \du
List of roles
Role name | Attributes | Member of
-----------------+--------------+------------------------------------------------
dba | Create role | {util_user,helpdesk_user,helpdesk_admin}
helpdesk_admin | Cannot login | {helpdesk_user}
helpdesk_user | Cannot login | {helpdesk_reader}
jack | | {helpdesk_admin}
postgres | Superuser | {}
: Create role
: Create DB
You can do that by following:
SELECT grantee, privilege_type
FROM information_schema.role_table_grants
WHERE table_name='mytable'
This gives you this kind of output:
mail=# select grantee, privilege_type from information_schema.role_table_grants where table_name='aliases';
grantee | privilege_type
--------------+-----------------
mailreader | INSERT
mailreader | SELECT
mailreader | UPDATE
mailreader | DELETE
mailreader | TRUNCATE
mailreader | REFERENCES
mailreader | TRIGGER
