According to Jewish tradition, King Solomon wrote three books of the Bible: The Hebrew word ""To Solomon"" (which can also be translated as ""by Solomon"") appears in the title of two hymns, 72 and 127, in the book of Psalms (""Tehillim""), suggesting to some that Solomon wrote them. Rabbinical tradition attributes the ""Wisdom of Solomon"" to Solomon, although this book was probably written in the 2nd century BCE. In this work, Solomon is portrayed as an astronomer.

The 17th of the 18 psalms is similar to Psalm 72 which has traditionally been attributed to Solomon, and hence may be the reason that the Psalms of Solomon have their name. An alternate theory is that the psalms were so highly regarded that Solomon's name was attached to"

Its authorship is traditionally assigned to king David, but most scholars place its origin some time after the end of the Babylonian captivity. The shape of the Psalms differs from the usual scheme, which the species is unclear and controversial.

"Psalm 6 Psalm 6 is the 6th psalm from the Book of Psalms. The Psalm gives its author as King David. David's supposed intention in writing the psalm was that it would be for anyone suffering from sickness or distress or for the state of the Kingdom of Israel while suffering through oppression. The Geneva Bible (1599) gives the following summary: The psalm is the first of the seven Penitential Psalms, as identified by Cassiodorus in a commentary of the 6th century AD. Many translations have been made of these psalms, and musical settings have been made by many composers."

Protestant translations (Lutheran, Anglican, Calvinist) use the Hebrew numbering, but other Christian traditions vary: ""For the remainder of this article, the Hebrew numbering is used, unless otherwise noted.""

In addition, scholars conclude that the numerous errors and inconsistencies in the fragments point not only to some carelessness or inattentiveness by the Renaissance scholars but also to errors in the now lost manuscript out of which the material was copied. The language of the Psalms suggests that they were originally written in the 10th century. A number of editions exist, among others by the 19th-century Dutch philologist Willem Lodewijk"

It could mean that the psalms were a part of a collection from the Asaphites, a name commonly used to identify temple singers. Another possibility is that the psalms were performed in the style or tradition of the"

It may be a sequel of the preceding psalm. Tradition attributes Psalm 27 to King David. Protestant Christians have traditionally thought of it as written early in David's life, during his flight from King Saul, with Spurgeon suggesting the incident with Doeg the Edomite specifically.

In the general sense, Psalm 2 is interpreted as referring to King David, God's anointed, defeating the enemies of Israel who gather against her. In addition, Psalm 2 is often considered to be messianic, referring to the Messianic Era when the kingdoms of the world gather against Israel and are defeated, and Jerusalem becomes a"
