9. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10. For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be]. 11. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 12. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 13. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth 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, [and] to slay such as be of upright conversation. 15. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

Commentary on Psalms 37:9

Theological / Devotional

Wait. Compare v. 7. Verses 9–15 deal chiefly with the lot of the godless.

Shall inherit the earth. See vs. 3, 11, 22, 29, 34. This golden thread of comfort runs through the psalm. See also Ps. 25:13; Isa. 57:13; Matt. 5:5.
