The inscription for Psalms 90 is: tpilh lmwh aiw-halohim, A prayer of Moses the man of God.
Forbes points out some likenesses (see his footnote 81 in the shared epub) between Deuteronomy 32 and Psalms 91. About 20% of the significant words are shared.

This does not mean that Moses wrote either of these psalms though this may have been taken as a given 140 years ago.
Forbes footnote 81 reads thus:
