This could mean 1) Yahweh’s judgements are far from his thinking, he ignores them. 2) he does not understand Yahweh’s judgements. Alternate translation: “your judgements are beyond his comprehension” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He pays no attention to your judgements”

כָּל־צ֝וֹרְרָ֗י⁠ו יָפִ֥יחַ בָּ⁠הֶֽם

all/each/any/every enemies,his scoffs in/on/at/with,them

Here, snorts (blowing air loudly out of the nose) is a symbolic action that expresses contempt and mocking. If this would not be clear to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text or in a footnote. Alternate translation: “he shows that he thinks that all his enemies are weak and worthless” or “he sneers at all his enemies”
