Tradition holds that the psalms were all written by Kings David and Solomon, or by their courtiers. However, scholars say that the psalms were a literarly genre unknown at the time attributed to David and Solomon. They were actually written during and after the Babylonian Exile.
Psalm 118 verse 9 says (KJV), "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes." While the first clause is uncontroversial, no king would write the second part, and it would be a brave courtier to do so. In addition, verse 26 refers to the "house of the Lord" (the Jerusalem Temple) in the past tense, meaning that the psalm was written after it was built and probably after its destruction by the Babylonians. The tenor of the psalm indicates that the Jews had already been allowed to return from captivity, and verse 25, which asks the Lord to send prosperity, suggests they have already returned.
Like all the psalms, Psalm 118 was written anonymously, so we will never know its actual author, but we can say that he lived some time after the Return from the Babylonian Exile.
