By tradition, the psalms are attributed to King David and King Solomon, in the tenth century BCE. However, many scholars believe that the psalms were really written during and after the Babylonian Exile, in which case Psalm 120 was written no earlier than the sixth century BCE, but we do not know the author.
According to tradition, King David gave us the Book of Psalms. 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.
