how many psalms are there in the old testament?
30, 100
many psalms (116 of the 150) have individual superscriptions (titles), ranging from lengthy comments to a single word. over a third appear to be musical directions, addressed to the "leader" or "choirmaster", including such statements as "with stringed instruments" and "according to lilies". others appear to be references to types of musical composition, such as "a psalm" and "song", or directions regarding the occasion for using the psalm ("on the dedication of the temple", "for the memorial offering", etc.). many carry the names of individuals, the most common (73 psalms—75 if including the two psalms attributed by the new testament to david) being "of david", and thirteen of these relate explicitly to incidents in the king's life. others named include asaph (12), the sons of korah (11), solomon (2), moses (1), ethan the ezrahite (1), and heman the ezrahite (1). the lxx, the peshitta (the syriac vulgate), and the latin vulgate each associate several psalms (such as 111 and 145) with haggai and zechariah. the lxx also attributes several psalms (like 112 and 135) to ezekiel and to jeremiah.
psalms
in many psalms, whose authorship are traditionally ascribed to king david (i.e. "messiah" david), the author writes about his life in third person, referring to himself as "the/god's/your messiah" while clearly discussing his military exploits. thus it can be argued that many of the portions that are asserted to be prophetic psalms may not be.
