He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten - God (saith he in his heart, if not with his lips) forgets alike my sins and the sufferings of my victims.
He hideth his face - so as not to see wrong.
He will never see it - He pays no regard to it (the evil I do) 'forever.' So the Hebrew, Ezekiel 8:12; Ezekiel 9:9. The sinner's long impunity fosters his notion that God takes no cognizance of wrong-doing on earth. This constitutes an urgent claim for God's interposition at once, and is the ground of the prayer that follows in Psalms 10:12.
