What point did David stop writing in the Bible?

The only Book attributed to David is the Psalms. The Book of Psalms is not in chronological order. We may surmise that a Psalm such as number 18 was the last, or among the last, since it has the words "of David the servant of the Lord,who spoke unto the Lord the words of this songin the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul."Another clear contender is Psalm 72, which has the words "The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended."Although Psalm 72 is "of Solomon," tradition states that David wrote it, concerning Solomon (Rashi commentary).

We only two songs (Psalm 72 and 127) in the Old Testament unless you also count the book, the Song of Solomon, as the third.
