∙ 13y agoPsalm 122 is traditionally attributed to King David. However, biblical scholars say that the psalms are a genre that was unknown at the time that David is said to have lived. The psalms, including this one, were actually written during and after the Babylonian Exile. Evidence that militates against David as the author includes verse 1: "... Let us go into the house of the Lord [Temple]" - the Temple could not yet have been built; reference in verse 5 to the house of David (implying that he was already dead); and verse 6 which prays for the peace of Jerusalem, which verse 2 would suggest that David intended to conquer, most unpeacefully.
We do not know who the anonymous author of Psalm 122 was.

∙ 12y agoHowever, scholars say that the psalms were a literary genre unknown at the time of David. If we look at the text of Psalm 133, we can see two clues to the real author.
Verse 1 says: "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" This points to authorship at the time of the Return from the Babylonian Exile, when the Jews were pleased to be allowed to live together again in Jerusalem.
Verse 3 contains an almost idyllic reference to the mountains of Zion, or the city of Jerusalem. In The Bible, it could be read that David would be pleased to return to Judea, but this was before the conquest of Jerusalem.
The author of Psalm 133 will remain anonymous, but we can say he lived at the end of the Babylonian Exile. As with so many psalms attributed to him, the author was not King David.
The author of Psalm 121 is not definitively known, as many of the Psalms are attributed anonomously.
