Psalm 100. Always. It is my favorite Psalm.

66(67) because, in the monastic tradition, that’s what opens Lauds every day (along with psalm 50(51)). If the psalm is used on that day, then 94(95). I also use 94(95) on Sundays, feasts and solemnities.
Psalm 23(24) is particularly appropriate for Palm Sunday and Holy Week.
All of the above assumes I’m praying the LOTH. If I’m using Monastic Schema B for the Divine Office, then there’s a different, mandatory, invitatory prescribed for each day: 94(95) on Sunday, 28(29) on Monday, 66(67) on Tuesday, 45(46) on Wednesday, 23(24) on Thursday, 8 on Friday, and 80(81) on Saturday.
(my French and Lation LOTH books use the Vulgate numbering; the Hebrew numbering is in brackets).

Which French book do you have? I got Prière du Temps Présent, which is basically the equivalent of Christian Prayer in English. It’s a cute little book and pretty handy when I don’t want to carry a bigger breviary. It’s a little poorly laid out, but I think that adds to its charm.

Advent and from Ascension until Trinity Sunday - Ps 24
Christmas to Candlemass and feasts of BVM - Ps 67
Eastertide and Saints’ Days - Ps 100
Easter Week - Easter Anthems

I have Prière du Temps Présent but mostly use the 4-volume Liturgy of the Hours, precisely because the layout of PTP is not very convivial. Normally I use the 2-year monastic lectionary for the Office of Readings but when I travel I simply use the readings in the FLOTH (the “F” is for “French!”), and I catch up on the 2-year readings when I get home.
However when at home, I chant the Office. For that, I use Les Heures Grégoriennes, the Latin/French diurnal antiphonary for the LOTH, in Gregorian notation, used by the clerics and seminarians at the Communauté St. Martin in France. It is truly an awesome work (even though I question some of the antiphon choices), beautifully bound and beautifully laid out so you only need one book at a time. It’s in 3 volumes: I OT/Advent/Christmas, II Lent/Easter, III Saints. I chant the psalm in Latin then silently read it in French.
When I do the monastic LOTH, I use Liturgie Monastique des Heures, long out of print (last edition was printed in 1994 I believe). For chanting, I use a couple of house books for Lauds and Vespers that I picked up when the abbey issued new editions.
I also have a bunch of other breviaries and antiphonaries (pre- and post-Conciliar), as I’m a bit of a LOTH geek
Some are just part of the collection, some are used as references, in particular for various Gregorian pieces for our schola.

I was trying to get ahold of Les Heures Grégoriennes, but for whatever reason my bank didn’t like me trying to buy things from France and I couldn’t get the payment to go through. I figured they would be doubly useful, since I could pray the office privately in French, and use the Latin part in public liturgical settings.

That’s unfortunate; have you tried this site? They seem to accept credit card purchases.
Shipping isn’t cheap however. I’d also recommend the optional CD set of MP3s, they are extremely helpful for learning the melodies.

That’s actually where I tried from, but my bank kept locking my card down when I ordered from there.

Father call your bank first and pre-authorize the transaction.

That was going to be my suggestion as well. It sounds like the anti-fraud algorithm on his card kicked in. I’ve had it happen to me a couple of times when in stores buying big-ticket items (computer, bikes). A quick call to the card issuer and the transaction was approved.
It’s the same with foreign travel. With some cards you have to call the card issuer first. The cards I use now no longer require it but some might still require it. I believe in the US not all cards are chip cards, but they are in Canada now which simplifies things a lot.
Father, Les Heures Grégoriennes are really worth it to go through the trouble! If not perhaps you can get a friend to help.
You might also want to consider Antiphonale Romanum II, you can buy it directly from Solesmes. It’s Vespers of all Sundays, feasts and solemnities of the year for the current Liturgy of the Hours. One advantage compared to LHG, the psalms are all pointed to facilitate the chanting; mind you the fact that they aren’t in LHG isn’t a problem for me, and it was a good incentive to learn the mechanics of all the psalm tones when I got the set in 2008 just after the first edition came out.

I pray the hours once a week with a group (morning) and Psalm 95 is used. Sometimes with night prayers, I cheat by using my iBreviary phone app and use whatever one is there. I’ve only been praying with the group for a year or less, so I’m still not familiar with the process and prayers.
