Many of the psalms are traditionally attributed to the legendary King David who is believed to have lived around 1000 BCE. However this is an attribution only, and there is nothing in the psalms themselves that points to David. Scholars say that the psalms were a literary genre unknown at the time of David, and that they were really written over a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile. The authors were anonymous, but clearly no one person could have written all the psalms over such a long period.

When was the book of psalms made?
King David published a psalm book about 1000 B.C. He wrote some, collected some, and modified some. These are listed in the Book of Psalms as Psalms of David. Other groups of Psalms were added to David's book. You can see the names listed for a number of Psalms. Many do not have anyone listed. One Psalm begins, "By the waters of Babylon, we cried." That one was written about 550 B.C., during the Babylonian Captivity. That is the last Psalm that can be given a definite date. The Book of Psalms had become a part of the Bible before Alexander the Great conquered the Middle East. So it was complete about 350 B.C.
