Context — Tell of His Wonders
33He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
34He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
35They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
36Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor. 37He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.Psalms 105:35 Summary
Psalms 105:35 describes a time when God sent locusts to devour all the plants in a land, leaving the people without food.

The verse reminds us of God's power and control over creation, as seen in other scriptures like Jeremiah 27:5. Just like the locusts devoured the plants, we can be consumed by our own desires and sins, but God offers us a way out through His love and redemption, as seen in John 10:10.
