What does the word "Selah" mean, at the ending of certain lines in the Psalms?

The definition of 'selah' is pause. The meaning of 'selah' in the Psalms is 'this is very important, take a moment to consider it.' The Israelite used to clang the symbols to cause all to pause and focus.

Selah Definition

if you go to the websters dictionary, you will find no answer. the websters reads: 'a term of uncertain meaning found in the Hebrew texts of psalms'. however any educated person in hebrew or cultural studies will tell you that during davidic epochs every time that a certain hebrew passage, specially from the king, was read, two huge cymbals were struck together and the word "selah" was said by the people in attendance. it was a type of formality and of course a Hebrew custom.

the expression selah, means forever.

Sorry, this is not about your question. I wanted to thank you for responding to my recent question about where are the dead hanging out until Christ comes to judge the living and the dead.

I had another question for you, if you don't mind-

Where are the good/saved dead hanging out until Christ comes to judge the living and the dead? I believe they don't enter heaven until they are judged- is that right? If so, what kind of a place are they in now?

suspension (of music), that is, pause: - Selah.

a technical musical term probably showing accentuation, pause, interruption

comes from Salaw

A primitive root; to hang up, that is, weigh, or (figuratively) contemn: - tread down (under foot), value.

Sorry I don't have more
