Context of Psalms 105:36
34He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number, 35And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground. He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength. 37And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes. 38Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
