• His desire, the aim of his heart’s affection, was their salvation. (“Romans 10” by J.N. Darby)
• Chapter 10—Paul presents the moral responsibility of man to believe the gospel—whether Jew or Gentile. He reports that the Jews have failed in this responsibility and this has opened the door for blessing to go out to the Gentiles, and many of them have come into blessing through faith. (“God's Righteousness Displayed in His Dispensational Ways: Romans 9-11” by B. Anstey)
• In chapter 9, he has insisted on God's sovereignty in salvation; now in chapter 10, he speaks of the other side of the subject—man's responsibility….God would have us to understand and enjoy these two distinct lines of truth as they are found in Scripture, without trying to reconcile them. (“The Responsibility of Man Israel's Present Rejection: Romans 10” by B. Anstey)

JND Translation Notes

i
i.e. his good pleasure, the thought that delighted him. The order of the words gives the force of "own," or an emphatic "my." The connection of the beginning of the phrase with "for salvation" is not very grammatical; but this abruptness of style is usual with Paul. See Note, ch. 9.3.
k
Some authorities have "for Israel," but "for them" is the more correct reading, and, occupied as the apostle is with his subject, is far more beautiful. "For salvation" is perhaps a little obscure; but what he says is, what would satisfy his heart was that; and his prayers tended that way, not to their judgment, evil as they were, and rejecters of Christ. But the judgment was not yet revealed.
