The Psalms of David, part of the larger book of Psalms, is an anthology of Hebrew religious hymns. The book is divided into five sections, each ending with a doxology. While David is credited with authoring 73 of the 150 psalms, other authors such as Asaph, the sons of Korah, and Solomon also contributed. The psalms cover various themes including trust in God, royal psalms, laments, and thanksgivings. They were written over a period from the Israelite conquest of Canaan to the post-exilic period and were likely compiled and edited into their present form during the 5th century BC. The psalms are significant for their theological and messianic themes, reflecting the life and faith of King David and other authors.
