Best Answer

Psalm 9 is traditionally attributed to King David.

However, scholars say that the psalms are a literary genre unknown at the time attributed to David. They were written anonymously over more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile.

Psalm 9 makes several triumphant references to the defeat of the heathens and the enemies, not by Israel, but by God. This could only mean that the Psalm was written after the Persian defeat of the hated Babylonians. Verse 11 says that God lives in Zion (Jerusalem), implying that the Jews was already returned from Babylon. We can not know the name of the anonymous author, but we can say that he lived some time soon after the Return from the Babylonian Exile.
