1. The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
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]

2. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
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."
   

3. Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
Selah, the end; a pause
