3.

Radak #2: "Li'Mzimah" is like "Ki Zimah Arus" (Hoshe'a 6:9), abomination.

4.

Malbim: Because they do not see You punish Resha'im, Your enemies praise You to justify themselves. They say that You cannot know worldly matters and oversee them, for this contradicts Your unchanging unity, or it is below Your honor to oversee lower beings. This is in order to do evil; they say that there is no judgment and no Judge.
