<p> Seventy-one times in the Psalms, three times in Habakkuk. From | <p> Seventy-one times in the Psalms, three times in Habakkuk. From '''''Shelah''''' , "rest." A music mark denoting a pause, during which the singers ceased to sing and only the instruments were heard. [[Septuagint]] diapsalma, a break in the psalm introduced where the sense requires a rest. It is a call to calm reflection on the preceding words. Hence, in Psalms 9:16 it follows '''''Eeiggaion''''' , "meditation." The selah reminds us that the psalm requires a peaceful and meditative soul which can apprehend what the Holy Spirit propounds. Thus it is most suggestive, and far from being, as Smith's Bible Dictionary alleges of this sense, "superfluous." Delitsseh takes it from '''''Saalal''''' "to lift up," a musical forte, the piano singing then ceasing, and the instruments alone playing with execution an interlude after sentences of peculiar importance, so as to emphasize them. </p> | ||
