Contextual Overview
7 Be still in the presence of the Lord , and wait patiently for him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. 8 Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm. 9 For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land. 10 Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone. 11 The lowly will possess the land and will live in peace and prosperity. 12 The wicked plot against the godly; they snarl at them in defiance. 13 But the Lord just laughs, for he sees their day of judgment coming. 14 The wicked draw their swords and string their bows to kill the poor and the oppressed, to slaughter those who do right. 15 But their swords will stab their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. 16 It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The wicked plotteth against the just,.... Forms schemes to make him uneasy, uncomfortable, and unhappy:
and gnasheth upon him with his teeth: which expresses his malice and hatred, as David's enemies did upon him, Psalms 35:16; and Stephen's, Acts 7:54.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The wicked plotteth against the just - Margin, “practiceth.” The Hebrew word means to plot; to lie in wait; to plan; to purpose; to devise. See Psalms 31:13. The meaning is, that wicked people lay their plans against the righteous, but that they will not be able to carry them out, or accomplish them, for they will be cut off, and the Lord will protect His friends.
And gnasheth upon him with his teeth - An expression of rage or anger. See the notes at Psalms 35:16.
