Selah
(se-LAH) interj. Selah. Perhaps related to a shoresh (salah) meaning to lift up (as voices) before a pause. Occurs 71 times in the Psalms, three times in Habakkuk. From salah, "to lift up" (the voice). Selah might have been a musical mark suggesting a forte of voices just before a reflective instrumental interlude. Upon selah, the singers would pause and only the instruments were heard. - Hebrew4Christians Glossary
