Context of Psalms 105:38
36He 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. Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon the Egyptians. 39He spread out a cloud as a covering, And fire to illumine by night. 40They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

This will, in part, account for the fact that they were willing to give them what they asked - even silver…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 24-45Verses 24-45 As the believer commonly thrives best in his soul when under the cross; so the church also flourishes most in true holiness, and increases in number, while under persecution.
