Psalms 9:16

(16) The Lord.—Better, Jehovah hath made himself known. He hath executed judgment, snaring the wicked in the work of his own hands.

Higgaion. Selah.—Higgaion occurs three times in the Psalms—here. Psalms 19:14, and Psalms 92:4 (Heb.). In the two latter places it is translated; in Psalms 19:14, “meditation;” in Psalms 92:4, “solemn sound.” Both meanings are etymologically possible, but the word apparently, indicates some change in the music, or possibly, as joined with selah, a direction to some particular part of the orchestra.
