Best Answer

Scholars generally believe that the Psalms were written by anonymous authors around the middle of the first millennium BCE, long after the time attributed to David. However, a majority of the Psalms are traditionally attributed to David.

ADDITIONALLYMany of the Psalms themselves include the name of David as being the writer composer. For example, at the end of the fourth Psalm, it says in many translations: "To the director for Ne´hi·loth. A melody of David."

According to tradition, King David gave us the Book of Psalms. Seventy-three of the 150 bear his name, and the unattributed ones are also from him (Talmud, Berakhot 9b).

Concerning those Psalms that have the names of other authors, tradition teaches that we may thank David for them too (Talmud, Bava Bathra 14b). This is because it was he who recorded them in their permanent form and in a single book. If not for King David, those Psalms would have gone lost.

Did David write psalms to Jonathan?

Most of the psalms are traditionally attributed to Kings David and Solomon, written in Jerusalem during the tenth century BCE. However, many scholars believe that the psalms were really written during and after the Babylonian Exile, not by David and Solomon at all. They were a literary genre that did not exist at the time attributed to King David. On this evidence, David did not write a psalm to Jonathan. While David wrote many Psalms, he did so to praise or express repentance to God, and did not write them to other humans. There is only a lament for Jonathan recorded in 2 Samuel 1.
