Selah (Hebrew: סֶלָה, also transliterated as selāh) is a word used
frequently in the Hebrew Bible, often in the Psalms, and is a
difficult concept to translate. (It should not be confused with the
Hebrew word sela‘ (Hebrew: סֶלַע) which means “rock.”) It is probably
either a liturgico-musical mark or an instruction on the reading of
the text, something like “stop and listen”. “Selah” can also be used
to indicate that there is to be a musical interlude at that point in
the Psalm.[1] The Amplified Bible states Selah as “pause, and think of
that”.
I like that the Hebrews had a word that meant “stop and listen”.
The next time your client shares their heart – selah.
The next time your eye catches a piece of art in a studio window – selah.
The next time your baby laughs – selah.
The next time your westbound at sunset – selah.
The next time an old friend calls – selah.
The next time you hear a bluebird sing – selah.
Great leaders selah. Great husbands/wives selah. Great dads/moms selah.
The world offers hidden music around every corner. Sometimes we just need to selah.
PS – Don’t miss the Hebrew saying you must stop before you can listen.
Thank you. I needed this. 🙂
Glad the words could help. Ashton
