There is nothing that is hidden from the Lord.
"Sheol [the place of the dead] and Abaddon [the abyss, the final place of the accuser Satan] both are before the Lord; how much more then the hearts of the children of men?" Proverbs 15:11, Amplified
If the Lord has Hell and Destruction open before Him, then the hearts of men cannot be hidden from Him either. What I feel that Solomon is trying to portray here is that man cannot physically see Hell, but the Lord can. The Lord can see both the physical and the spiritual. Solomon is not the only one who said these kind of things either. "Sheol is naked before Him, and Destruction has no covering." (Job 26:6, NKJV) [Just so that it is known, Abaddon and Destruction are one in the same.] The writer of Hebrews gives a great elaboration in this spiritual truth. "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." (Hebrews 4:12-13, NKJV)
Every thought, every action is seen by the Lord. Though we think to commit sin in private or in the darkness, the Lord sees everything and always.
