Topic: Selah - Pause! Ponder! Respond

Study from biblehub

Selah (“Selah” appears seventy-four times in the Hebrew Scriptures, predominantly in the Book of Psalms and three times in Habakkuk,…its presence consistently calls worshipers to pause, ponder, and respond to the truths just expressed, a call for self-examination, self-reflection.Theological Significance

• Emphasis on divine sovereignty. By inserting a purposeful pause, the inspired authors highlight God’s works as worthy of contemplation (Psalm 66:4).

• Call to trust. In Psalm 55:19 David writes, “God, who is enthroned from of old, will hear and afflict them—Selah—because they do not change and do not fear God.” The break magnifies the certainty of divine justice. • Assurance amidst crisis. The refrain “Selah” anchors the repeated confession, “I will not be afraid” (Psalm 3:6), directing hearts from fear to faith.
