When I first read this, in an Anthony Burgess novel I think, his idea was not to include the title, Psalm 46, in the counting. That is, the idea was to use the text only. Have you seen "Selah" even used in a KJV? I do not think I have.

As for Shakespeare being a real person, I have read that he was head of a minor troupe of players but most certainly not a scholar and not multilingual. So use of his name may be a joke among many other jokes. Or, as you say, just made up like Fallstaff.

Can we agree to disagree for now and pick this up again when one or both of us finds information? I have some, somewhere on an old fashioned hard drive, the spinning type. Thanks for playing. Selah

Yes, it uses selah just like other translations do. Here's a list of instances.

Of course. I feel no need to convince anyone. Do keep me updated.

I will. Yes, my Bible study skills are a bit rusty.
