Psalm 42 itself says that it was written by "the sons [or descendants] of Korah"

Many psalms were written by other people--Asaph, Solomon, the Sons of Korah, Moses, etc. So this psalm was probably NOT written by King David.

Who Korah was could be questionable. Korah is mentioned in Exodus chapter 6 and again in Numbers chapter 16 (among other places), where he is described as a priest of the tribe of Levi (the Levites were the tribe who were given priestly responsibilities in the temple). "Sons of Korah" probably refers to the priestly descendants of Korah who were working in the temple.
