The answer
Eighty-four. The Septuagint credits eleven more psalms to David than the Hebrew text does, and one Dead Sea Scrolls manuscript credits seventy-five. In rabbinic tradition all one hundred fifty are his.
Why it’s interesting
The New Testament shows the same pull. Acts 4:25 puts Psalm 2 in David's mouth and Hebrews 4:7 does the same with Psalm 95, though neither psalm carries his name in the Hebrew text.
