Biblical tradition holds that the psalms were written by Kings David and Solomon, or their contemporaries. However, scholars say that the Psalms were a genre unknown in the times attributed to the United Monarchy and that they were actually written much later, during the Babylonian Exile and for a period of some two hundred years afterwards. In Psalm 105, we see a little evidence of this at verse 15, which refers to the prophets. The biblical prophets came after the time of David and Solomon; the earlier persons were known as patriarchs.

We know approximately when Psalm 105 was written - during or after the Babylonian Exile - but we do not know who its anonymous author was.
