Contextual Overview
7 Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him: Don't fret yourself because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Don't fret yourself, [it tends] only to evil-doing. 9 For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Yahweh, they shall inherit the land. 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yes, you shall diligently consider his place, and he shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 12 The wicked plots against the just, And gnashes on him with his teeth. 13 The Lord will laugh at him; For he sees that his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way. 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken. 16 Better is a little that the righteous has than the abundance 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.
