A:Biblical tradition holds that most of the psalms were written by Kings David and Solomon, as well as Asaph and Aleph at the time attributed to the United Monarchy. However, scholars say that the psalms were a literary genre unknown at this time in history. They were actually written during and after the Babylonian Exile. All the psalms were written anonymously, so we do not know how many authors were involved. A:There were mainly four authors Aleph , Asap h, David and Solomon.

While many of the psalms are traditionally attributed to David, Solomon, Aleph and others during the time of the legendary United Monarchy, scholars say that the psalms were a literary genre unknown at that time. They say that the psalms were actually written over a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile. Since all the psalms were written anonymously, it is not possible to establish how many psalms each author wrote.

Did david write psalms?

Yes, of course, David was a great poet of God also, as well as the other annointings he had. At the very beginning of each Psalm it is said who it belongs to (verse 1 in each Psalm) and very few are without any name such as 91 and 92, but they maybe following the previous psalm 90 so that makes Moses the author of them. But in the Hebrew original it is written "of David" - "L'Dovid" at the beginning of the psalms that belong to him. Also in the New Testament it is said that David was the author of many psalms. Romans 4:6-7 for example. Shalom !
