Contextual Overview
7 Trust in the Lord and wait quietly for his help. Don't be angry when people make evil plans and succeed. 8 Don't become so angry and upset that you, too, want to do evil. 9 The wicked will be destroyed, but those who call to the Lord for help will get the land he promised. 10 In a short time there will be no more evil people. You can look for them all you want, but they will be gone. 11 Humble people will get the land God promised, and they will enjoy peace. 12 The wicked plan bad things for those who are good. They show their teeth in anger at them. 13 But our Lord will laugh at them. He will make sure they get what they deserve. 14 The wicked draw their swords to kill the poor and the helpless. They aim their arrows to murder all who live right. 15 But their bows will break, and their swords will pierce their own hearts. 16 A few good people are better than a large crowd of those who are evil.

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.
