Context of Psalms 33:15
13The Lord looks down from heaven; he observes everyone. 14He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth from his dwelling place. He forms the hearts of them all; he considers all their works. 16A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be rescued by great strength. 17The horse is a false hope for safety; it provides no escape by its great power.

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.
