Selah
Psalms 44:8
44:8 Selah. This note of pause and reflection ends what might be called the first stanza of this “psalm of the martyrs.” Although speaking of God’s power in bringing victory to Israel in this first period of existence, most of it cannot be assigned to any particular event in her history. It may be intended for appropriation by either Israel’s martyrs or the martyrs of Christianity in any period or periods of history.
