詩編 33:15

span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.33.1" class="versetxt"> 1 正しき者よ、主によって喜べ、さんびは直き者にふさわしい。2 琴をもって主をさんびせよ、十弦の立琴をもって主をほめたたえよ。3 新しい歌を主にむかって歌い、喜びの声をあげて巧みに琴をかきならせ。4 主のみことばは直く、そのすべてのみわざは真実だからである。5 主は正義と公平とを愛される。地は主のいつくしみで満ちている。6 もろもろの天は主のみことばによって造られ、天の万軍は主の口の息によって造られた。7 主は海の水を水がめの中に集めるように集め、深い淵を倉におさめられた。8 全地は主を恐れ、世に住むすべての者は主を恐れかしこめ。9 主が仰せられると、そのようになり、命じられると、堅く立ったからである。10 主はもろもろの国のはかりごとをむなしくし、もろもろの民の企てをくじかれる。11 主のはかりごとはとこしえに立ち、そのみこころの思いは世々に立つ。12 主をおのが神とする国はさいわいである。主がその嗣業として選ばれた民はさいわいである。13 主は天から見おろされ、すべての人の子らを見、14 そのおられる所から地に住むすべての人をながめられる。15 主はすべて彼らの心を造り、そのすべてのわざに心をとめられる。16 王はその軍勢の多きによって救を得ない。勇士はその力の大いなるによって助けを得ない。17 馬は勝利に頼みとならない。その大いなる力も人を助けることはできない。18 見よ、主の目は主を恐れる者の上にあり、そのいつくしみを望む者の上にある。19 これは主が彼らの魂を死から救い、ききんの時にも生きながらえさせるためである。20 われらの魂は主を待ち望む。主はわれらの助け、われらの盾である。21 われらは主の聖なるみ名に信頼するがゆえに、われらの心は主にあって喜ぶ。22 主よ、われらが待ち望むように、あなたのいつくしみをわれらの上にたれてください。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He fashioneth their hearts alike,.... The Lord is the former and fashioner of the heart, spirit, or soul of man, even of all hearts and spirits; whence he is called the Father of spirits, Hebrews 12:9; see

Zechariah 12:1; and he is the former of them alike; which seems to intimate as if all seals were alike, as they are made by the Lord; and it may be the difference there appears to be between them afterwards, nay be owing to the make and constitution of their bodies, to their education, and different situation, circumstances, and advantages in life, whereby the hearts of some may be more opened and enlarged than others. Some render it "together", or "altogether" g; which must not be understood of time, as if they were all made at once, but of equality; the one was made by him as well as the other; he is the fashioner of one and all of them, every whit of them; they are wholly fashioned by him, and all that is in them, all the powers and faculties of the soul; and by him only, and not by the instrumentality of another; for souls are created, not generated; they are produced out of nothing, and not out of pre-existent matter, as bodies; parents contribute somewhat to the bodies of their children, but not anything to their souls. God only "is the God of the spirits of all flesh", Numbers 16:22; some translate the word "singly" h; one by one, one after another in the several ages of time; for he continues to fashion them, and is always doing it; see

Zechariah 12:1. And he forms the hearts of his own people anew for himself, for his own glory; he forms Christ in them, and every grace of his Spirit; he forms them into one, and knits and unites them together in love, and makes them like to one another; for as face answers to face in water, so do the hearts and experiences of the saints one to another, Proverbs 27:19; all which he does wholly and alone; and since he fashions the hearts of all men in every sense, he must know them, which is the design of this expression; he knows the hearts of wicked men, and all the wickedness that is in them; he knows the hearts of good men, the worst that is in them, and also the best, which he himself has put there;

he considereth all their works; the works of evil men, not only their more open ones, but their more secret ones, and will bring them into judgment; and the works of good men, even their good works, which he will remember and reward in a way of grace.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He fashioneth their hearts alike - That is, one as well as another; or, one as really as another. No one is exempt from his control, or from all that is implied in the word “fashioneth.” The meaning is not that their hearts are made to “resemble” each other, or to be “like” each other, whether in goodness or in wickedness - but that all alike “are” made by him. The idea in the word “fashioneth” here is not that of “creating,” in the sense that He “makes” the heart by his own power what it is, whether good or bad; but that, as he has “formed” the hearts of all people, he must see what is in the heart, or must behold all the purposes and thoughts of people. The Maker of the human heart must understand what is in it; and, therefore, He must have a clear understanding of the purposes and designs of human beings. This idea is carried out in the latter member of the sentence, “he considereth all their works,” and is substantially the same as in the expression Psalms 94:9, “He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?”

He considereth all their works - He understands all that they do; he marks, or attends to, all that is done by them. The purpose here is to state the universal sovereignty of God. He made all things; He presides over all things; He sees all things; He is the source of safety and protection to all.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 33:15. He fashioneth their hearts alikeHe 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, c. body and spirit having the same essential properties in every human being.
