My translation:

His understanding cannot be accounted for.

See: https://biblehub.com/interlinear/psalms/147-5.htm

Now, this may only speak to our epistemological limits, such as to suggest that God's understanding is not actually infinite, just that our ability to account for His understanding of things is limited, even if His is also limited, but less so than ours.

I don't particularly like that interpretation, but I think it at least belongs on the table, so to speak.

But if God's understanding is truly infinite, then that means all situations and circumstances, occurrences and possibilities, in every conceivable world, is known to Him.
That is correct. But, that does not mean God cannot "learn". God knows things as they actually are. Not all things are certainties. Many things are possibilities.
