Context of Psalms 33:15
13The Lord looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. 14From his throne he observes all who live on the earth. He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do. 16The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior. 17Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory— for all its strength, it cannot save you.

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