RW- that's some wierd chit?
King David wrote the Psalms, by inspiration, as a soldier, on active duty, in the field.
There is a group called by biblical students; "The Psalms of Imprecation"
I find that it is the hard core Calvinist old-school Scot Presbyterians that usually teach on this.
King David wrote??? Or are you referring to text written well after his death? Did anybody who wrote those texts ever actually hear him speak or did they relay on campfire tales passed from generation to generation...much of what is written in the bible are not "facts" at all...

David (/ˈdeɪvɪd/; Hebrew: דָּוִד, דָּוִיד, Modern David Tiberian Dāw�ḏ; ISO 259-3 Dawid; Arabic: داوُود‎ Dāwūd; Syriac: ܕܘܝܕ Dawid; Strong's: Daveed) was, according to the Bible, the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah, and according to the New Testament Gospels of Matthew and Luke, an ancestor of Jesus. His life is conventionally dated to c. 1040�970 BC, his reign over Judah c. 1010�1002 BC, and his reign over the United Kingdom c. 1002�970 BC.[1]
The Books of Samuel, 1 Kings, and 1 Chronicles are the only sources of information on David, although the Tel Dan Stele (dated c. 850�835 BC) contains the phrase בית דוד (Beit David), read as "House of David", which most scholars take as confirmation of the existence in the mid-9th century BC of a Judean royal dynasty called the House of David.[2]
