BSB, Psalm 18:
Were they part of the inspired autograph manuscript?
Some scholars believed that at least some of the psalm titles were original to the composition of the psalms themselves. Others believed these titles might have been added by editors who compiled the Psalter. This would have to be decided on a case-by-case basis. In any case, they were present in the oldest known manuscripts and generally considered reliable information.
Was the superscription in Ps 18 original autograph?
Ps 18 had a nearly identical parallel in 2 Samuel 22, with a similar superscription. The historical details aligned with events in David's life. The superscription appeared in the oldest known manuscripts in the Dead Sea Scrolls. David himself might have penned the title of Ps 18.
Some psalms contained a preamble before the start of verse 1. These preambles were called superscriptions or titles. The titles provided information about the psalm's authorship, occasion, genre, musical instructions, etc.
