We
don't know that David wrote Psalm 119. It was a commonplace in previous generations to just sort of assume that David wrote all the psalms except those that bear the names of others. I take the more conservative (and more obvious) approach - the 73 that are assigned to David are by him; the ones assigned to other writers are by them; and the anonymous ones are anonymous. Keeps things simple that way!
