Psalm 147:6 "The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground."
--------------
The word 'Meek' comes from the Hebrew word 'anah' (meaning humble, afflict, humiliate) and emphasizes an attitude toward God and fellow humans. 'Anah' is translated slightly differently in different translations, so it's overall meaning becomes clearer with comparison (meek, teachable, humble, mild tempered, lowly).
Psalm 25:9 says: "The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way."(KJV) The 'meek' are 'teachable'...humble enough to be guided by God.('humble' NIV)
Psalm 37:11 says: "...But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."(KJV) The meek are not prone to anger, or impatience or evil, but are peaceable, humble, faithful, and teachable, patiently trusting that God will correct things in his time.(Psalm 37:8-10)('humble' YLT)(Proverbs 16:19)
Isaiah 29:19 says: "The meek also shall increase their joy in Jehovah..."(ASV) Those that are humble and teachable will find real JOY serving God under HIS guidelines.('humble' NIV) Meek ones are told to 'seek God and practice his judicial decisions'(Zepheniah 2:3)
Isaiah 11:4 tells us that Jesus will 'judge the lowly ones' with righteousness 'and with uprightness he must give reproof in behalf of the meek ones of the earth.."(NWT) "...reprove with equity for the meek of the earth...'(KJV) The 'meek'(humble, teachable) people who have stuck by God's instruction and follwed Jesus' teaching, will be rewarded in due time.(Psalm 22:26, Psalm 10:17, Psalm 9:18)
Moses, though a great and faithful leader, was considered by God to be the meekest of all men. Numbers 12:3 calls him: "...very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth"(KJV/ASV)(Numbers 12:1-15)
Jesus set a fine example of mild-tempered meekness in his everyday life course (Philippians 2:7&8, Hebrews 12:2, Acts 8:32-35/Isaiah 53:7, Matthew 11:28+29)(Isaiah 61:1/Luke 4:16-21)

Who is Meek and how do they take over the world?
This statement comes from the Christian New Testament Bible. It says that "the meek will inherit the world." "Meek" is not a person or group. It is an word that means the powerless and poor of the world rather than the rich and powerful who have ruled it for centuries. The bible talks about the Kingdom OF HEAVEN, and the Kingdom OF GOD, which are the same thing. The bible also talks about that Kingdom coming to us (or the earth) in Revelation 21:1-4. A New Earth is the FINAL destination of every Christian. The Meek here is anyone who has trusted in Christ, and followed His example. JESUS "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am MEEK and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Matthew 11:29 AND ""But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a MEEK and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." 1 Peter 3:4
