I know the Selahs are in 4th century LXX manuscripts, but does anyone know if they were found in the Dead Sea Scroll manuscripts containing portions from the Psalms?

Do you mean in the Hebrew Text DSS, or in the Greek Text DSS?

If the Greek Text DSS, there's no Greek Psalms.

If Hebrew DSS, then there's an awful lot of Psalms scrolls (40+ IIRC), which you can search through here, page 644:

Look to Psalm 44:9 (page 659) 4QPsc, which has extant סל[ה].

Psalm 49 (also in 4QPsc) has סלה several times extant too. I'm more than positive you'll find more :)

Yes, Hebrew DSS. Thanks so much! Excellent link! Answers a question I've had bouncing around in my head for a while.
