(Milêl) a musical term, very frequent in the Psalms. It usually occurs at the end of a period or strophe. Derived from the Hebrew סָלָה (whence סֶלָה after the form בֶּכֶה), it would signify an elevation of the voice. Others regard it as a pause.

BDB

Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon

H5542

I. סֶ֑לָה (approximate number of occurrences: 74) verb — lift up (voices), or exalt.

Notes and Etymology:

Imperative of סָלַל (compare Proverbs 4:8; Psalm 68:5; חִגָּיוֺן סלה Psalm 9:17, see הִגָּיוֹן), properly סֹ֑לָּה, סֶ֑לֶה; possibly Qr = נֶצַח. Hexapla σελ; ᵐ5 Symm Theod διάψαλμα, explanation Suidas μέλους ἐναλλαγή; Theodoret, Hippolytus μέλους μεταβολή (compare Hexapla Habakkuk 3:3 μεταβολὴ δια ψάλματος; Syriac, Hexapla Aq עוניתא in 5 Psalms); ᵐ5 adds διάψαλμα e.g. Psalm 2:2; Psalm 34:11; Psalm 94:15.

1. Traditions and Interpretations

Used with full knowledge that it indicated some kind of interruption or change in the regular rendering. סלה is used in שמונה עשרה (Shemoneh Esreh) after Benedictions 3, 18, and after other early Jewish prayers. Ancient versions provide various renderings:

• Aquila: αἐί (always); also Theodotion in Psalm 9:17.
• Sexta: διαπαντός (except Psalm 20:4 εἰς τέλος).
• Quinta: εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
• Jerome: semper; Jerome classes sela with amen and salom.
• Targum: usually לעלמא or לעלמין; but Psalm 39:6 לחיי עלמא, Psalm 44:9 לעלמי עלמין, Psalm 48:9 עד עלמי עלמין, Psalm 49:14 לעלמא דאתי.

2. Usage and Occurrences

Total of 71 times in 39 Psalms, and 3 times in Habakkuk 3 (taken from the Director's Psalter למנצח).

a. At the end of a Psalm or section

• Habakkuk 3:9
• Psalm 24:10
• Psalm 46:12 (omitted by ᵐ5)
• Psalm 9:21 (ᵐ5 combines Psalms 9 and 10)

b. At the close of a strophe

• Habakkuk 3:3, 5
• Psalm 4:3, 5; Psalm 7:6; Psalm 9:17; Psalm 24:6; Psalm 32:4, 5, 7
• Psalm 39:6, 12; Psalm 46:4, 8; Psalm 47:5; Psalm 48:9; Psalm 49:14 (so read ᵑ0 for verse 13), 16
• Psalm 50:6; Psalm 52:5, 7; Psalm 54:5; Psalm 59:6, 14; Psalm 61:5; Psalm 62:5, 9
• Psalm 66:4, 7, 15; Psalm 67:5; Psalm 68:20; Psalm 76:4, 10; Psalm 77:4, 10, 16
• Psalm 81:8; Psalm 82:2; Psalm 83:9; Psalm 84:5, 9; Psalm 88:8, 11; Psalm 89:38, 46
• Psalm 140:4, 6, 9; Psalm 143:6

c. Where citations or liturgical extracts are made

• Psalm 44:9; Psalm 55:8; Psalm 57:7; Psalm 60:6; Psalm 67:2; Psalm 68:8, 33; Psalm 89:5; Habakkuk 3:3, 9
• Psalm 20:4; Psalm 21:3; Psalm 55:20; Psalm 75:4; Psalm 85:3; Psalm 87:3, 6; Psalm 89:49; Psalm 57:3 (ᵐ5 for ᵑ0 v 4); Habakkuk 3:13

3. Historical Distribution

Distribution in the Psalters: 23 used in the Elohistic Psalter, 28 in the Director's Psalter, and 39 in the final editing of the Psalter. The Davidic Psalter uses 20; the Korahite uses 9 (out of 12); and the Asaphite uses 7 + Psalm 80:8 [ᵐ5]. It appears to have come into use during the time of these editors, especially in the late Persian period, associated with musical accompaniment in public worship to indicate the place of benedictions. It was revived in the first century B.C. and continued for some time.
