Psalms 37:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:15

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.

Psalms 37:15 In-Context

13 et vim faciebant qui quaerebant animam meam et qui inquirebant mala mihi locuti sunt vanitates et dolos tota die meditabantur
14 ego autem tamquam surdus non audiebam et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum
15 et factus sum sicut homo non audiens et non habens in ore suo redargutiones
16 quoniam in te Domine speravi tu exaudies Domine Deus meus
17 quia dixi nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei et dum commoventur pedes mei super me magna locuti sunt
