The Psalms were written by King David, Moses, Solomon, the sons of Korah, the sons of Asaph and Ethan the Ezrahite. There are also some Psalms that were written anonymously.

How many people wrote the Bible? Although the actual count of the authors of the Bible is 40, there wouldn't be the history and stories without the people who lived and told them.

AnswerTradition attributes many of the psalms to the kings David and Solomon, and some Bibles contain individual attributions for each of the psalms.However, scholars say that the psalms were a genre that did not exist at the time of David and Solomon. They say that the psalms were actually written over a period of more than two centuries, during and after the Babylonian Exile, by anonymous authors.
