Tradition states that Psalm 49 was composed in the time of Moses (late 14th century BCE) by the sons of Korach who are mentioned in Numbers ch.16 (Rashi commentary, Psalm 42:1), and it was put in writing not later than the time of King David.

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 (including Psalm 49), tradition teaches that we may ultimately thank David for them too (Talmud, Bava Bathra 14b). This is because it was he who recorded them in a single book. If not for King David, those Psalms would have gone lost.

Psalm 49 is a part of the Book of Psalms in The Bible, and its specific date of composition is uncertain. It is believed to have been written by the Sons of Korah, a group of Levitical singers in ancient Israel, possibly during the time of King David around the 10th century BC or later during the post-exilic period.

between 1450 and 430 B.C. due to the numerous authors, the time span is great.

However, the majority were written about 1000 B.C.

What is the meaning of Psalm 89 verse 49?

Psalm 89 is traditionally thought to have been written by Ethan, during the reign of King David, on which basis some references do not make much sense, including the destruction of David's kingdom and the plaintive cry (verse 49) to the Lord, asking where is his lovingkindness now. In fact, scholars say that the psalms were really written a period that included the Babylonian Exile and some two hundred years afterwards. Psalm 89 was written at a time when God seemed to have forsaken the Jewish people. In this psalm, the author assures the Lord of his faithfulness, and reminds him that he had promised to make King David higher than the kings of the earth and his seed endure forever. But now, God has made void his covenant with David and made his enemies (the enemies of Judah) to rejoice. Then, in verse 46, the author asks God how long he will hide himself; in verse 49 he asks where is God's lovingkindness which he swore to David.
