There is nothing in Psalm 23 that actually tells us who wrote the psalm, but there is a possible clue. It was the practice of the Hebrew people to anoint their kings and high priests with oil, a practice mentioned in verse 5. Psalm 23 is traditionally attributed to King David, but scholars say they form a literary genre unknown at the time of David. They say that the psalms were really written during and after the Babylonian Exile, a time when there were no longer any kings of Judah.

Verse 5 points, with some uncertainty, to its author as a high priest.

Who wrote Psalm 95?

AnswerLike all the psalms, Psalm 95 was written anonymously. Although we can not know exactly who wrote this, or any other psalm, we can say that it was approximately when the author lived. The psalms are traditionally attributed to the time of David and Solomon. but modern scholars say that they were actually written over a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile. We can narrow this down and say that Psalm 95 was probably quite early, compared to others, because it does not insist dogmatically that the God of the Jews is the only god - (verse 3) "For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods"; (verse 7) " for he is our God...".


Who wrote Psalm 105?

Biblical tradition holds that the psalms were written by Kings David and Solomon, or their contemporaries. However, scholars say that the Psalms were a genre unknown in the times attributed to the United Monarchy and that they were actually written much later, during the Babylonian Exile and for a period of some two hundred years afterwards. In Psalm 105, we see a little evidence of this at verse 15, which refers to the prophets. The biblical prophets came after the time of David and Solomon; the earlier persons were known as patriarchs. We know approximately when Psalm 105 was written - during or after the Babylonian Exile - but we do not know who its anonymous author was.

Who wrote Psalm 109?

A:Psalm 109 is a spiteful psalm full of hatred towards an unidentified personal adversary, traditionally attributed to King David, to the chief musician of his court. However, scholars say that the psalms were a literary genre unknown at the time of King David, and that the psalms were actually written over a period of more than two hundred years during and after the Babylonian Exile.Further evidence for the later dating is to be found in the mention of Satan in verse 6: Satan was never mentioned in any book written before the Babylonian Exile. Also, verse 22 describes the author as poor and needy, something that is not supposed to be a good description of David. Moreover, why would a king lower himself to publish a psalm against one of his own subjects, rather than simply using his authority to remove the person.We know approximately when the psalms were written, but not by whom. We do not know who wrote Psalm 109.

Who wrote Psalm 135?

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.
