Contextual Overview
7Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for him;do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,by the person who carries out evil plans. 8Refrain from anger and give up your rage;do not be agitated—it can only bring harm. 9For evildoers will be destroyed,but those who put their hope in the Lordwill inherit the land. 10A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;though you look for him, he will not be there. 11But the humble will inherit the landand will enjoy abundant prosperity. 12The wicked person schemes against the righteousand gnashes his teeth at him. 13The Lord laughs at himbecause he sees that his day is coming. 14The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bowto bring down the poor and needyand to slaughter those whose way is upright. 15Their swords will enter their own hearts,and their bows will be broken.16The little that the righteous person has is betterthan the abundance of many wicked people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Their sword shall enter into their own heart,.... As Saul's did into his, 1 Samuel 31:4;
and their bows shall be broken; the meaning is, that their efforts shall be fruitless, and their attempts in vain; the mischief they have contrived and designed for others shall fall upon themselves; see Psalms 7:15; and therefore the saints should not be fretful and envious.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Their sword shall enter into their own heart - Their purposes will recoil on themselves; or they will themselves suffer what they had devised for others. See the same sentiment expressed in Psalms 7:15-16; Psalms 9:15; compare Esther 7:10.
And their bows shall be broken - They will be defeated in their plans. God will cut them off, and not suffer them to execute their designs.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 37:15. Their sword shall enter into their own heart — All their execrations and maledictions shall fall upon themselves, and their power to do mischief shall be broken.
