Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 10:4

"The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, [saith], He will not require [it]. All his thoughts are, There is no God." — Psalms 10:4 (ASV)

The wicked. —The Authorised Version has quite missed the meaning of this verse. Translate, the wicked in his haughtiness (literally, height of his nostril. Compare the common expression, ‘to turn up one’s nose at a person’) says He will not requite it (i.e., punish). There is no God in all his thought. (Psalms 53:1.)
