Jewish answer: King David was a superlative servant of God, and he composed the Psalms with wording that would be relevant in all times. That is why they make up a significant portion of our prayerbook.
The Psalms (Tehillim), which we might call the soul of the Jewish people, express the yearning of King David and of the entire nation to be close to God.
Their purpose is:
To express love for God
To pray for everything
To pour out one's heart concerning worries, troubles, vicissitudes etc.
To express trust, hope and happiness
To sing to God in gratitude
To praise God's wisdom, kindness, power etc.
According to tradition, King David authored/compiled the book of Psalms and gave it to us in its present form. Seventy-three of the 150 bear his name, and tradition states that 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 (Talmud, Bava Bathra 14b). This is because it was he who recorded them in their permanent form and in a single book. If not for King David, those Psalms would have gone lost.

In Victorian England what is a public school?
A 'public school' in Victorian England was, ironically, what we would refer to today as a 'private school' - i.e. a fee paying independent school. Some of the great public schools of the Victorian era, all of which still exist today, are Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Repton, Christs Hospital and Westminster. The schools listed are still referred to as 'public schools' and not private schools. There is a subtle difference between the two. A public school is a very exclusive private school and has to be a member of the 'Headmaster's Conference' to be classified as a public school. A 'public school' in the US would be called a 'state school' in the UK (which includes England).
