The psalms were a genre that did not exist in the time of Asaph; they were written over a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile. Nevertheless, certain psalms are traditionally attributed to Asaph. These are: 50 and 73-83 inclusive.
Yes, of course, David was a great poet of God also, as well as the other annointings he had. At the very beginning of each Psalm it is said who it belongs to (verse 1 in each Psalm) and very few are without any name such as 91 and 92, but they maybe following the previous psalm 90 so that makes Moses the author of them. But in the Hebrew original it is written "of David" - "L'Dovid" at the beginning of the psalms that belong to him. Also in the New Testament it is said that David was the author of many psalms. Romans 4:6-7 for example. Shalom !
