The Lord knows us as babies, as kids, even us before the ego, that is why he is not intimidated by our proud words, our wicked deeds and vain thoughts because he sees the baby, the child we are even before self-esteem took over our minds and we behaved proudly towards him and our fellow man.
He knows us in our defenseless position for after setting ourselves above the world, we still go to bed and sleep. Man in this position is as innocent, as pure as a baby.
Father knows our secret tears and fears even though we walk arrogantly on the earth. He knew beforehand that we would act this way yet that is nothing compared to who we are. He is the one who called us into being out of love for his son and he sees us in Christ as a baby, as a kid, as a teen, as an adult, as an aged person the same.
The adult may be proud, but not the baby and that is still us. And so Father does not contend with man who speaks proud things for he sees the whole picture - the frail baby, the strong adult, the humble aged. Above all, he sees the Son of God in whose image he begot us and he is pleased with us.
