מזמור לתודה יש לאומרו בנגינה שכל השירות עתידות ליבטל חוץ ממזמור לתודה (ראה ויק"ר ט,ז). ואין אומרים מזמור לתודה בשבת ויו"ט, או בימי פסח שאין תודה קריבה בהם משום חמץ, ולא בערב פסח.

*Psalm 100 was recited in the Temple only on those days when thank-offerings were offered on the Altar. It is therefore omitted on Shabbos, on Yom Tov, on the day before Yom Kippur, on the day before Pesach, and also on the intermediate days of Pesach, when only obligatory-offerings were offered. Our Sages declare (*Midrash Rabbah Tzav,*9) “In the future, even though all things on earth will be in such an ideal state that there will be no more cause for prayers and offerings, prayers of gratitude, and offerings of thanksgiving will nevertheless not cease.” Ordinarily, when a person is saved from a fatal illness, is released from captivity, or returns from a risky journey, he pronounces the special blessing*Hagomeil*. Our Sages, instituted psalm 100 in our daily prayers as an expression of thanks for the many unrecognized miracles God performs in our behalf every day.*

**מִזְמוֹר לְתוֹדָה** הָרִֽיעוּ לַיהוָֹה כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ: עִבְדוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה בְּשִׂמְחָה בֹּֽאוּ לְפָנָיו בִּרְנָנָה: דְּעוּ כִּי־יְהֹוָה הוּא אֱלֹהִים הוּא עָשָֽׂנוּ וְלוֹ (וְלֹא) אֲנַֽחְנוּ עַמּוֹ וְצֹאן מַרְעִיתוֹ: בֹּֽאוּ שְׁעָרָיו בְּתוֹדָה חֲצֵרֹתָיו בִּתְהִלָּה הֽוֹדוּ לוֹ בָּרְ֒כוּ שְׁמוֹ: כִּי־טוֹב יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ וְעַד־דֹּר וָדֹר אֱמוּנָתוֹ:

A psalm of thanksgiving: Shout for joy to Adonoy, everyone on earth. Serve Adonoy with joy,¹ come before Him with exultation. Know that Adonoy is God, He has made us, and we are His,² His people and the sheep of His pasturing. Enter His gates³ with thanksgiving, His courtyards⁴ with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His Name for Adonoy is good, His loving kindness is eternal, and to every generation His faithfulness [extends.]

footnotes:
¹ To serve God means to devote every moment of one’s life to the execution of God’s will. We are called upon to dedicate ourselves to this life of Divine service with rejoicing, for only such a life can give us the true joy that comes from constant spiritual and moral growth.—S.R. Hirsch
² As is pointed out by the written form לא, which indicates “we are nothing,” we are not even the most insignificant part of our existence to ourselves. In fact, the more we realize that we are לא, insignificant, the more לו אנחנו, we are His.—Sfas Emes
³ The gates of the Temple Mount.
⁴ The courts of the holy Temple.
