As with many of the psalms, Psalm 65 is traditionally attributed to King David. However, scholars say that the psalms are a literary genre unknown at the time of King David. They say that the psalms were all written anonymously over a period of more than two hundred years during and after the Babylonian Exile.

Evidence of the later authorship of Psalm 65 include: (verse 4 (KJV) reference to the Temple : "we shall be satisfied with the goodness of they house, even of thy holy temple"); (verse 5) God of our 'salvation' (the Return); (verse 7) the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, which would have been unfamiliar sounds to the Hebrews of David's time, but well known during the Exile.

We do not know who wrote Psalm 65, but it must have been written after the Return from the Babylonian Exile, and after construction had at least begun on the new Temple.
