Context of Psalms 33:15
13The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; 14from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. 16The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. 17The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue.

Commentaries on Psalms 33:15
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15He fashioneth their hearts alike - He forms their hearts in unity; he has formed them alike; they are all the works of his hands: and he has formed them with the same powers, faculties, passions, etc.; body and spirit having the same essential properties in every human being.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15He fashioneth their hearts alike - That is, one as well as another; or, one as really as another.

Their hearts, as well as their times, are all in his hand; he formed the spirit of each man within him.

We are to give to him the…Read the comment
