"His countenance" is wrong for ἐνώπιον, but otherwise yes, I think it's possible that ἐδόλωσεν is meant to be read as an act of frustration of the articular infinitives rather than enablement.
φησὶν ὁ παράνομος τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν ἐν ἑαυτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν φόβος θεοῦ ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐδόλωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τοῦ εὑρεῖν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ μισῆσαι
The lawbreaker says in his heart regarding his sin -- there is no fear of God before his eyes -- that right in front of him [God] he [the lawbreaker] tricked him out of finding and hating his lawbreaking.
Translating the stuff after ὅτι as reported speech.
