Context of Psalms 36:10
8You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights. 9For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts. 11Don’t let the proud trample me or the wicked push me around. 12Look! Those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down, never to rise again.

Commentaries on Psalms 36:10
