A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Their cruelty is only exceeded by their wicked and absurd presumption (Psa 10:11; Psa 59:7).

A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]

Their cruelty is only exceeded by their wicked and absurd presumption (Psa 10:11; Psa 59:7).

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Yet they say - By their conduct; or, they seem to say. The Lord shall not see - In the original, יה Yâhh. This is an abbreviation of the word יהוה Yahweh. See Psa 68:4, note; Psa 83:18, note. On the impious sentiment here expressed, see the notes at Psa 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.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
The Lord shall not see - This was either the language of infidelity or insult. Indeed, what could the Babylonians know of the true God? They might consider him as the God of a district or province, who knew nothing and did nothing out of his own territories.
