Barnes' Notes
Yet they say - By their conduct; or, they seem to say.
The Lord shall not see - In the original, Yâhh . This is an abbreviation of the word Yahweh . See Psalms 68:4, note; Psalms 83:18, note. On the impious sentiment here expressed, see the notes at Psalms 10:11.
Neither shall the God of Jacob regard it - Implying that God was indifferent to the conduct of people; that he would not punish the wicked; that sinners have nothing to fear at his hand. This sentiment is very common still, either as an article in their creed, or as implied in their conduct. The doctrine of universal salvation is really founded on this opinion; and most people ACT as if it were their belief that the wicked are in no danger of being punished, and that there is no such attribute in God as justice.
