From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Psalms       The psalms are the production of various authors. "Only a       portion of the Book of Psalms claims David as its author. Other       inspired poets in successive generations added now one now       another contribution to the sacred collection, and thus in the       wisdom of Providence it more completely reflects every phase of       human emotion and circumstances than it otherwise could." But it       is specially to David and his contemporaries that we owe this       precious book. In the "titles" of the psalms, the genuineness of       which there is no sufficient reason to doubt, 73 are ascribed to       David. Peter and John (Acts 4:25) ascribe to him also the second       psalm, which is one of the 48 that are anonymous. About       two-thirds of the whole collection have been ascribed to David.                Psalms 39, 62, and 77 are addressed to Jeduthun, to be sung       after his manner or in his choir. Psalms 50 and 73-83 are       addressed to Asaph, as the master of his choir, to be sung in       the worship of God. The "sons of Korah," who formed a leading       part of the Kohathite singers (2 Chr. 20:19), were intrusted       with the arranging and singing of Ps. 42, 44-49, 84, 85, 87, and       88.                In Luke 24:44 the word "psalms" means the Hagiographa, i.e.,       the holy writings, one of the sections into which the Jews       divided the Old Testament. (See {BIBLE}.)                None of the psalms can be proved to have been of a later date       than the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, hence the whole collection       extends over a period of about 1,000 years. There are in the New       Testament 116 direct quotations from the Psalter.                The Psalter is divided, after the analogy of the Pentateuch,       into five books, each closing with a doxology or benediction:                (1.) The first book comprises the first 41 psalms, all of       which are ascribed to David except 1, 2, 10, and 33, which,       though anonymous, may also be ascribed to him.                (2.) Book second consists of the next 31 psalms (42-72), 18 of       which are ascribed to David and 1 to Solomon (the 72nd). The       rest are anonymous.                (3.) The third book contains 17 psalms (73-89), of which the       86th is ascribed to David, the 88th to Heman the Ezrahite, and       the 89th to Ethan the Ezrahite.                (4.) The fourth book also contains 17 psalms (90-106), of       which the 90th is ascribed to Moses, and the 101st and 103rd to       David.                (5.) The fifth book contains the remaining psalms, 44 in       number. Of these, 15 are ascribed to David, and the 127th to       Solomon.                Ps. 136 is generally called "the great hallel." But the Talmud       includes also Ps. 120-135. Ps. 113-118, inclusive, constitute       the "hallel" recited at the three great feasts, at the new moon,       and on the eight days of the feast of dedication.                "It is presumed that these several collections were made at       times of high religious life: the first, probably, near the       close of David's life; the second in the days of Solomon; the       third by the singers of Jehoshaphat (2 Chr. 20:19); the fourth       by the men of Hezekiah (29, 30, 31); and the fifth in the days       of Ezra."                The Mosaic ritual makes no provision for the service of song       in the worship of God. David first taught the Church to sing the       praises of the Lord. He first introduced into the ritual of the       tabernacle music and song.                Divers names are given to the psalms. (1.) Some bear the       Hebrew designation _shir_ (Gr. ode, a song). Thirteen have this       title. It means the flow of speech, as it were, in a straight       line or in a regular strain. This title includes secular as well       as sacred song.                (2.) Fifty-eight psalms bear the designation (Heb.) _mitsmor_       (Gr. psalmos, a psalm), a lyric ode, or a song set to music; a       sacred song accompanied with a musical instrument.                (3.) Ps. 145, and many others, have the designation (Heb.)       _tehillah_ (Gr. hymnos, a hymn), meaning a song of praise; a       song the prominent thought of which is the praise of God.                (4.) Six psalms (16, 56-60) have the title (Heb.) _michtam_       (q.v.).                (5.) Ps. 7 and Hab. 3 bear the title (Heb.) _shiggaion_       (q.v.).
