In Judaism, Psalm 100 (Hebrew: מזמור לתודה,Mizmor Letoda) is part of the daily prayer service, except on Shabbat, festivals, Chol HaMoed of Pesach, and the days before Yom Kippur and Pesach. Psalm 100 is representative of the Thanksgiving offering, which thanks God for having been saved from dangers we face every day. A person always faces danger in his daily routine, even though he may be unaware of it.
Psalm 100 is omitted the day before and during Pesach because the Thanksgiving offering is composed of a loaf of bread, which is chametz that may not be consumed during Pesach. It is omitted the day before Yom Kippur because no food is consumed on Yom Kippur.
