Psalm 89 is traditionally attributed to Ethan the Ezrahite, a wise man from the time of King Solomon. However, scholars say that the psalms were a genre unknown at the time of King Solomon. They say they were written during a two hundred year period during and after the Babylonian Exile. If we look at verses 33-34, which reminds God that he will never utterly destroy the children of David and will keep his covenant, then at verses 39-46 which tell God that he has now utterly destroyed his people and asks will he hide forever:
Verses 33-34: "Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips."
Verses 39-46: "Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?"
These are obvious references to the disaster of the Babylonian Exile, long after the time of Solomon. So, we can prove that Psalm 89 was written during the Babylonian Exile, but we can not know who the author was.
