Holman Christian Standard Bible
Let our lord command your servants here in your presence to look for someone who knows how to play the lyre. Whenever the evil spirit from God troubles you, that person can play the lyre, and you will feel better.” 

New American Standard Bible
"Let our lord now command your servants who are before you. Let them seek a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall come about when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play [the harp] with his hand, and you will be well."

King James Bible
Let our lord now command thy servants, [which are] before thee, to seek out a man, [who is] a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. International Standard Version
Let our lord order his servants who attend you to look for a man who is skilled in playing the lyre. And then when an evil spirit from God comes on you, he will play and you will be better."

American Standard Version
Let our lord now command thy servants, that are before thee, to seek out a man who is a skilful player on the harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

Young's Literal Translation
let our lord command, we pray thee, thy servants before thee, they seek a skilful man, playing on a harp, and it hath come to pass, in the spirit of sadness from God being upon thee, that he hath played with his hand, and it is well with thee.'1 Samuel 16:16 • 1 Samuel 16:16 NIV • 1 Samuel 16:16 NLT • 1 Samuel 16:16 ESV • 1 Samuel 16:16 NASB • 1 Samuel 16:16 KJV • 1 Samuel 16:16 Commentaries • 1 Samuel 16:16 Bible Apps • 1 Samuel 16:16 Biblia Paralela • 1 Samuel 16:16 Chinese Bible • 1 Samuel 16:16 French Bible • 1 Samuel 16:16 German Bible
