Context of Psalms 33:15
13The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. 14From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth. He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works. 16No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength. 17A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.

Commentaries on Psalms 33:15

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15He fashioneth their hearts alike - That is, one as well as another; or, one as really as another.
