UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כְּ⁠גֹ֣בַהּ אַ֭פּ⁠וֹ

in,pride_of countenance_of,his

Here, the haughtiness of his nose is an idiom that means pride or arrogance. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, use an idiom from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his arrogant attitude” or “his pride”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בַּל־יִדְרֹ֑שׁ

not seek

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. It is unclear *who* does not seek *what* here. It could be that 1) the wicked seeks not God. They do not fear him or obey him. 2) the wicked thinks that God does not seek them out, or notice them, to punish them. Alternate translation: “thinks God seeks not” You could supply these words if it would be clearer in your language.

אֵ֥ין אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים כָּל־מְזִמּוֹתָֽי⁠ו

not ʼElohīm all/each/any/every thoughts_of,his

Alternate translation: “God is not in all his thoughts”
