Finally found that Psalm here -- numbering is different. Maybe someone smarter than me knows why.

Psalms
Chapter 116

1
¹ I love the LORD, who listened to my voice in supplication,
2
Who turned an ear to me on the day I called.
3
² I was caught by the cords of death; the snares of Sheol had seized me; I felt agony and dread.
4
Then I called on the name of the LORD, "O LORD, save my life!"
5
Gracious is the LORD and just; yes, our God is merciful.
6
The LORD protects the simple; I was helpless, but God saved me.
7
Return, my soul, to your rest; the LORD has been good to you.
8
For my soul has been freed from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9
³ I shall walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10
⁴ I kept faith, even when I said, "I am greatly afflicted!"
11
I said in my alarm, "No one can be trusted!"
12
How can I repay the LORD for all the good done for me?
13
⁵ I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14
I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15
⁶ Too costly in the eyes of the LORD is the death of his faithful.
16
LORD, I am your servant, your servant, the child of your maidservant; you have loosed my bonds.
17
I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
18
I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
19
In the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

¹ [Psalm 116] A thanksgiving in which the psalmist responds to divine rescue from mortal danger (Psalm 116:3-4) and from near despair (10-11) with vows and temple sacrifices (Psalm 116:13-14, 17-19). The Greek and Latin versions divide the psalm into two parts: Psalm 116:1-9 and 10-19, corresponding to its two major divisions.
² [3] The cords of death: death is personified here; it attempts to capture the psalmist with snares and nets. Cf Psalm 18:6.
³ [9] The land of the living: the phrase elsewhere is an epithet of the Jerusalem Temple (cf Psalm 27:13; 52:5; Isaiah 38:11). Hence the psalmist probably refers to being present to God in the temple.
⁴ [10] I kept faith, even when I said: even in the days of despair, the psalmist did not lose all hope.
⁵ [13] The cup of salvation: probably the libation of wine poured out in gratitude for rescue. Cf Exodus 25:29; Numbers 15:5, 7, 10.
⁶ [15] Too costly in the eyes of the LORD: the meaning is that the death of God's faithful is grievous to God, not that God is pleased with the death. Cf Psalm 72:14. In Wisdom 3:5-6 God accepts the death of the righteous as a sacrificial burnt offering.

Hmm, it looks like you posted Psalm 116. I posted Psalm 115, which is the one the Pope is talking about, in the first reply.

Four different numbering systems: Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, and Episcopalian (of course, the Episcopalians also USED TO use their own translation, per Abp. Cranmer, back when they were actually believers . . .)

That's the newer Protestant/Hebrew numbering, as opposed to the Catholic numbering in the Vulgate.

St. Jerome has Psalm 9 in two parts, with Psalmus X secundum Hebraeos before "Ut quid,Domine, recessisti longe" (which follows v. 20 or 21 [St. Jerome numbers a descriptive line as v. 1]), but the verse numbering starts again as 1, and the next Psalm is numbered 10. Thereafter, all the numbering is one off from the Hebrew/Protestant.
