From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary (easton)
Selah
a word frequently found in the Book of Psalms, and also in Hab.
3:9, 13, about seventy-four times in all in Scripture. Its
meaning is doubtful. Some interpret it as meaning "silence" or
"pause;" others, "end," "a louder strain," "piano," etc. The
LXX. render the word by daplasma i.e., "a division."
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)
Selah \Se"lah\, n. [Heb. sel[=a]h.] (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 Selach is a musical term, we know
absolutely nothing about it. --Dr. W. Smith
