The book of Psalms is the ancient Hebrew songbook used for the temple singers. "Selah" is believed to be a specific musical notation, explaining what was expected at that point in the song. Many feel that "Selah" stands for a "pause" when singing or for silent meditation, to allow the words which were just sung, to sink in and be more impressive. The Greek Septuagint defined Selah("diapsalma") as "a musical interlude."

I think that the word - selah - which appears 75 times, mainly as a 'sentence' on its own in many of the Psalms is untranslated. It is 'thought to be' a musical direction.

Selah (Hebrew: סלה) may be the most difficult word in the Hebrew Bible to translate. Selah is probably either a liturgico-musical mark or an instruction on the reading of the text, something like "stop and listen". The Psalms were sung accompanied by musical instruments and there are references to this in many chapters. Thirty-one of the thirty-nine psalms with the caption "To the choir-master []" include "Selah" so the musical context of selah is obvious. Selah notes a break in the song and as such is similar in purpose to Amen in that it stresses the importance of the preceding passage. Alternatively, Selah may mean "forever", as it does in some places in the liturgy (notably the second to last blessing of the Amidah).As for word roots, Selah, [celah], is from the primary Hebrew root word [calah] which means 'to hang,' and by implication to measure (weigh).And what we do know is that it is a word which means to weigh or measure. And in the Bible contexts, to weigh the preceding Word of God and wisely consider them. It is a signature exhortation from God for our thoughtful reflection and weighing of what we have just read.[1] Also "Selah" is the name of a city in David and Solomon time [2].The above is quoted from Wikipedia.
