Note about reading from the Psalms
The word “Selah” occurs seventy-three times in the Psalms, and is found twice in Psalm 67. Although the exact meaning is unknown, many scholars believe it to be a musical directive to pause, or reflect. So when the reader encounters “Selah” it may mean that we should pause momentarily and reflect on these words. In that case it is not necessary to read the word “selah” aloud, but simply to dwell on what is being read.
