Selah

Se′lah

,
Noun.
[Heb.
selāh
.]
(Script.)
A word of doubtful meaning, occuring frequently in the Psalms; by some, supposed to signify silence or a pause in the musical performance of the song.
Beyond the fact that
Selah
is a musical term, we know absolutely nothing about it.
Dr. W. Smith (Bib. Dict.)
