A:Tradition has attributed most of the psalms to Kings David and Solomon and to members of their courts, such as Asaph. However, these are mere attributions and biblical scholars say that the psalms were a genre unknown at the time of David. The psalms were compiled anonymously during and after the Babylonian Exile, which is why there are frequent references to the rivers of Babylon, an improbable theme if written centuries earlier in Jerusalem. However, some of the psalms contain pre-Exilic material, even close parallels to Egyptian texts, and would have been handed down orally from monarchical times. We do not really know who wrote any of the psalms.
