Which psalm is the psalm of thanksgiving?
Psalm 100. Its King James title is "A Psalm of praise", and the World English Bible calls it "A Psalm of thanksgiving". Its fourth verse begins "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving".
What Bible verses are about giving thanks?
Among those asked here: Psalm 95:2, Psalm 136, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Philippians 4:6, Colossians 3:15 and 2 Corinthians 9:15. Each reason quotes its verse in the King James Version.

Both. The psalms round and the letters round have short verses to finish, which children who know them can answer. The questions on feasts, Levites and kings are harder.
