| Strong Concordance | Ps 89:45 | The days [03117] of his youth [05934] hast thou shortened [07114]: thou hast covered [05844] him with shame [0955]. Selah [05542]. |
| Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
| SELAH | A musical term which occurs seventy-three times in the Psalms, and is found also in Hab 3:3,9,13. It usually occurs at the end of a period or apostrophe, but sometimes at the end only of a clause. This difficult word, it is now generally believed, was a direction for a meditative pause in the singing of a psalm, during which perhaps there was an instrumental interlude. |
