Context of Psalms 36:10
8They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights. 9For with You is the fountain of life [the fountain of life-giving water]; In Your light we see light. O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness (salvation) to the upright in heart. 11Do not let the foot of the proud [person] overtake me, And do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away. 12There those who [are perverse and] do evil have fallen; They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

Commentaries on Psalms 36:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10O continue thy loving-kindness - Literally, "Draw out thy mercy." The allusion to the spring is still kept up.

To the upriabt in heart - לב לישרי levishrey leb, to the straight of heart; to those who have but one end in view, and one aim to that end. This is…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10O continue - Margin, as in Hebrew: “draw out at length.” The Hebrew word means “to draw;” hence, “to draw out,” in the sense of “continuing” or “prolonging.” Compare Psalm 85:5; Psalm 109:12; Jeremiah 31:3.
