Psalms 37:9-11 "For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in GOD are the ones that will possess the earth. 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

Many people do not realize that is actually God's purpose for the earth. When Jesus taught his followers to pray that God's will be done on earth, this is actually what they were praying for....the wicked to be gone and the meek to inherit it.
I will include a link to an interesting article that discusses this scripture and why we can be sure that it will come true.

Wait upon the Lord; in humble dependence on him, and diligent use of the means of his appointment. Ps 37:34
Ps 37:10
The prosperity of the wicked, however great, is of short continuance, and will soon come to a perpetual end.

delight. Ps 36:8; 72:7; 119:165; Isa 26:3; 48:18; 57:18-21; Joh 14:27; Php 4:7

When you want to get a donkey to move there are two tools you can use, a stick and a carrot. You can whack it with the stick or tempt it with the carrot. That's what this verse is.
The "evildoers themselves will be cut off" is the stick. It is a generic threat. "those hoping in GOD are the ones that will possess the earth" is a carrot. It is a generic reward.
Neither, of course, are true, but it is useful for religions to use this technique to control people.

The meaning on one end of it is , That it is giving comfort to those who are being mistreated by wrong doers evil men . In this section God is giving the meek hope that one day God will do what right to the evil doer and the meek who are being mistreated can rest in that the evil person or unfair judgments will be take care of ,even if they don't see it in their life time.

Those who have denied Christ, and are workers or doers of evil, will be sent to hell.
Those who have confessed Christ as Savior and Lord, and are the children of God will rule and reign with Christ in His Kingdom on earth.
The wicked one is Satan. He currently has power over the earth, and is the worker of iniquity. God will cast Satan and his demons to the pit of hell, and they will be there forever.
After Satan is gone, we will notice that he is no longer around.
The ones who submit to the will of God will inherit the earth.
There will be the peace of God like the world has never known.

Psalm 18 in entirety is David's song of praise after coming by ability of conflict effectively because GOD replaced into with him. The eleventh verse is David's description of ways God is contained in the forces of nature at the same time as God so needs. Darkness of hurricane clouds and rain are the protecting, the darkness of the sky. Now, I take this a minimum of two options i am going to percentage the following: a million. merely because it truly is, God is contained in the forces of nature, and at the same time as God isn't 'seen' contained in the experience of a 'body' as human beings have, God is the very Presence in the back of the protecting of darkness and rain/hurricane clouds. 2. in my opinion: That no count number what storms upward thrust up in my existence, no count number how darkish evidently throughout my recommendations, or in my thoughts, or maybe in my beliefs, that God is ever present and way more effective efficient than even the most terrible outcomes of the forces of nature on earth...and so as that promises me desire and sustains me, at the same time as it sounds like i'm being beaten, i recognize that i will 'climate any hurricane the following in this international'... with the help of protecting my concentration on God, no count number what...and it really works! thanks for the Q :)
