It is clear that the 150 individual psalms were written by many different people across a period of a thousand years in Israel's history. They must have been compiled and put together in their present form by some unknown editor shortly after the captivity ended about 537 B.C.
Malinaw na ang 150 indibidwal na mga Awit ay isinulat ng iba't ibang mga manunulat sa loob ng isanlibong taon sa kasaysayan ng Israel. Maaring inipon sila at pinagsamasama ng ilang hindi kilalang patnugot pagkatapos ng pagkabihag sa Babilonia noong mga 537 B.C.
