King David, prodigious as he was in writing Psalms, was not the only one who contributed music to this book of praising God. Asaph and Heman, two of David's four chief musicians employed at the tabernacle in Jerusalem, also wrote songs.
Asaph, the leader over the Levites responsible for the temple's music (1Chronicles 6:39, 16:4 - 5), wrote twelve of the Psalms (Psalm 50 and 73 through 83). Heman, grandson of the prophet Samuel (1 Chronicles 6:33), authored Psalm 88.
