Psalm 36:10
Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
9For with you is the spring of life. In your light we will see light.
10Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
Notice
“Continue” expresses the need for God's kindness to last, even among those who know him and seek to live with upright hearts.

Psalm 97:10–11You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.Psalm 36 asks for God's kindness toward the upright; Psalm 97 describes his care for those who love him and hate evil.
