Psalm 88 is attributed to Heman, while (89) is assigned to Ethan the Ezrahite. With the exception of Solomon and Moses, all these additional authors were priests or Levites who were responsible for providing music for sanctuary worship during David's reign. Fifty of the psalms designate no specific person as author.
Zaburi 88 imehusishwa na Hemani, wakati (89) imehusishwa na Ethani Mwezrahi. Kando na Sulemani na Musa, waandishi hawa wote wa ziada walikuwa makuhani au Walawi ambao walihusika na kutoa muziki kwa ibada madhabahuni wakati wa utawala wa Daudi. Zaburi hamsini hazimuhusishi mtu maalum kama mwandishi.
