Psalm 23 is traditionally attributed to King David. The psalm begins with a Hebrew title usually translated as "of David," indicating his authorship. This is supported by biblical tradition linking David to music and poetry. However, the exact authorship is not definitively confirmed since the Psalter is a compilation from various periods, and some psalms attributed to David may have been written or edited later. Nonetheless, Psalm 23 is commonly accepted as one of the psalms written by or associated with David, reflecting his experiences both as a shepherd and later as a king.
