Contextual Overview
7Be silent for YHWH, and stay yourself for Him, || Do not fret because of him || Who is making his way prosperous, || Because of a man doing wicked schemes. 8Desist from anger, and forsake fury, || Do not fret yourself to only do evil. 9For evildoers are cut off, || As for those waiting on YHWH, they possess the land. 10And yet a little [while], and the wicked is not, || And you have considered his place, and it is not. 11And the humble possess the land, || And they have delighted themselves || In the abundance of peace. 12The wicked is devising against the righteous, || And gnashing his teeth against him. 13The Lord laughs at him, || For He has seen that his day comes. 14The wicked have opened a sword, || And they have bent their bow, || To cause the poor and needy to fall, || To slaughter the upright of the way. 15Their sword enters into their own heart, || And their bows are shattered.16Better [is] the little of the righteous, || Than the store of many wicked.

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.
