 Definition: 
\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
                                               (Bib. Dict.)
 
Easton Bible Dictionary
 
 Definition: 

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."
