Biblical tradition ascribed much of the Book of Psalms to King David.
However, scholars say that the psalms were a literary genre unknown at the time attributed to David. They say that they were really written over a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile.
Moreover many of the psalms so attributed are anomalous when placed in the biblical context of David, while others show clear evidence of having been written during the Babylonian Exile or thereafter. David did not help write the Book of Psalms or any other book in The Bible.

∙ 8y agoSome of the 150 Psalms were written by Hezekiah, some by Solomon, some by people unknown, and some up to and including the Babylonian Exile, but at least two thirds are definitely written by David.
David definitely helped write the Book of Psalms, and also probably the relevant parts of 1 Kings and Chronicles dealing with his life.

∙ 8y agoTradition states that King David gave us the Book of Psalms. Seventy-three of the 150 bear his name, and 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.

The literary genre of Psalms goes all the way back, as seen in the liturgical poems of Ugarit and Sumeria.
