Context of Psalms 105:36
34He spoke, and locusts came, And creeping locusts, beyond number, 35And they ate all the vegetation in their land, And ate the fruit of their ground. He also fatally struck all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor. 37Then He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled. 38Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon the Egyptians.
