Secular answer
Traditionally, most of the Psalms are attributed to King David, although general tradition does not say when he actually wrote them. However, biblical scholars theorize that the Psalms were really written over a period of two or three centuries, during and after the Babylonian Exile. They were subsequently attributed to David.
Jewish answer
A few of the Psalms contain "when he was fleeing" (see numbers 57 and 59).
Tradition states that King David gave us the Book of Psalms. Seventy-three of the 150 bear his name, and the unattributed ones are also from him (Talmud, Berakhot 9b).
Concerning those Psalms that have the names of other authors, tradition teaches that we may thank David for them too. This is because it was he who collated and canonized them into his Book (Talmud, Bava Batra 14b). Some of their authors were contemporaries of David (such as Heiman, Eitan, Asaph, Jeduthun), while others lived before his time (Adam, Moses, Malkitzedek). If not for King David, those Psalms would have gone lost.
For some decades, academic scholars have claimed that many psalms were written several centuries after King David. They stated this for theoretical reasons. Recent analysis, however, makes it clear that the language, style, genre and phraseology of the Psalms is much more ancient than had been claimed.

Most of the psalms are traditionally attributed to Kings David and Solomon, written in Jerusalem during the tenth century BCE.

They were a literary genre that did not exist at the time attributed to King David. On this evidence, David did not write a psalm to Jonathan. While David wrote many Psalms, he did so to praise or express repentance to God, and did not write them to other humans. There is only a lament for Jonathan recorded in 2 Samuel 1.
