On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Wicked people will not seek after God (that is, will not call upon him); they live without prayer, and that is living without God. They have many thoughts, many projects and devices, but no eye to God in any of them, no submission to his will nor aim at his glory. [2.] The cause of this impiety and irreligion; and that is pride.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The face expresses the self-conceit, whose fruit is practical atheism (Ps 14:1). Such is his confidence in the permanence of his way or course of life, that he disregards God's providential government (out of sight, because he will not look, Isa 26:11), sneers at his enemies, and boasts perpetual freedom from evil.
