Tradition holds that the Psalm 73 was written by Asaph in the reign of King David. However, scholars say that the psalms were a literary genre unknown at the time attributed to David and Solomon. They were actually written during and after the Babylonian Exile.
Further evidence for the date can be found in the text of this psalm. Verse 10 talks about God's people returning 'hither', implying the Return from the Exile. Verse 17 talks about the author going into the sanctuary of God, which suggests that the Second Temple had alreay been constructed.
Psalm 73 is likely to have been written around 500 BCE or within the following century or so. The author is unknown.
