From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

O 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.” ComparePsalms 85:5;Psalms 109:12;Jeremiah 31:3. The desire of the psalmist here is, that God would make the manifestation of his loving-kindness “continuous” or “perpetual” to His people; that it might not be fitful and interrupted, but always enduring, or constant. It is the utterance of a prayer that his favor might always be manifested to his friends. Thy loving-kindness -Thy mercy,Psalms 36:5,Psalms 36:7. “Unto them that know thee.” That are thy friends.
