Selah
The term “Selah” (Ps.
3:2) is used 71 times in Psalms and three times in the Book of Habakkuk, yet its exact meaning remains obscure.
Perhaps the best guess is that it indicated a musical interlude or transition.
The root word from which Selah is thought to come means “to lift up.”
That led some to believe that Selah marks a climax in the music in which the singers musicians to “lift up” their praise to God.
Another suggestion is that Selah is an acronymic shorthand for a musical direction, somewhat similar to modern-day notations such as mf for mezzo forte (moderately ) or pp for pianissimo (“very ”).
According to this theory, Selah supposedly means “change of voices” or “repeat from the beginning.”
