Talk:Psalm 27

Authorship edit

The section on authorship claims that this psalm "is generally attributed to King David." There are three footnotes, but they don't actually lead to anything that would substantiate the idea that the psalm is "generally attributed" to king David. The first two notes lead simply to the Bible's own claim that this Psalm is "of David," which might be a claim by the psalm itself that David is the author, although event this is disputed, having to do with arguments about the Hebrew prepositional lamed. The third link goes to a priest writing in the first half of the nineteenth century, whose words are not exactly a ringing endorsement of Davidic authorship. So as far as reliable sources, I'm treating this claim as unverified and editing accordingly.Alephb (talk) 16:08, 19 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
