From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Selah \Se"lah\, n. [Heb. sel[=a]h.] (Script.)
     A word of doubtful meaning, occuring frequently in the
     Psalms; by some, supposed to signify silence or a pause in
     the musical performance of the song.
     [1913 Webster]
  


           Beyond the fact that Selah is a musical term, we know
           absolutely nothing about it.             --Dr. W. Smith
                                                    (Bib. Dict.)
     [1913 Webster]

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Selah
     a word frequently found in the Book of Psalms, and also in Hab.
     3:9, 13, about seventy-four times in all in Scripture. Its
     meaning is doubtful. Some interpret it as meaning "silence" or
     "pause;" others, "end," "a louder strain," "piano," etc. The
     LXX. render the word by daplasma i.e., "a division."
