From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Yet they say -By their conduct; or, they seem to say. The Lord shall not see -In the original,יהYâhh. This is an abbreviation of the wordיהוהYahweh. SeePsalms 68:4, note;Psalms 83:18, note. On the impious sentiment here expressed, see the notes atPsalms 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.
