The Book of Psalms contains the principle collection of religious lyric poetry in the Bible. Although the Psalms were collected into a large anthology in the post-exilic period—in the fifth or the fourth century BCE—many of them date from very early pre-exilic times.

Scholars divide the psalter into five main collections. Almost all of the Psalms in Book One are prefaced with the phrase to, or of, David. Other psalms are attributed to various writers, including Solomon, Assaf, and the sons of Korah. Form critics categorize the psalms according to literary genre, and then attempt to assign the sub-groups to cultic setting or Sitz im Leben.
