Context of Psalms 33:15
13The Lord looks [down] from heaven; He sees all the sons of man; 14From His dwelling place He looks closely Upon all the inhabitants of the earth— He who fashions the hearts of them all, Who considers and understands all that they do. 16The king is not saved by the great size of his army; A warrior is not rescued by his great strength. 17A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

Commentaries on Psalms 33:15

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-22Verses 12-22 All the motions and operations of the souls of men, which no mortals know but themselves, God knows better than they do. Their hearts, as well as their times, are all in his hand; he formed the spirit of each man within him.
