Salmi 105:34 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 105:34

He spake, and the locusts came
A great army of them, and covered the land, that it was even darkened by them; and were such as had never been seen before, or ever were since; this is the eighth plague, ( Exodus 10:12-14 ) , with these compare the locusts in ( Revelation 9:3 Revelation 9:4 ) .

And caterpillars, and that without number;
of these no mention is made in Exodus; they seem to be one of the kinds of locusts, or a different word is here used for the same, and so Kimchi interprets it; some render it the white locust; it has its name from licking up the herbs and grass of the field; as the other name for the locust seems to be taken from its great abundance and increase.

Salmi 105:34 In-Context

32 Egli mutò le lor pioggie in gragnuola, E in fuoco divampante nel lor paese;

33 E percosse le lor vigne, e i lor fichi; E fracassò gli alberi della lor contrada.

34 Alla sua parola vennero locuste, E bruchi senza numero;

35 Che rosero tutta l’erba nel lor paese, E mangiarono il frutto della lor terra.

36 Poi egli percosse ogni primogenito nel lor paese, Le primizie d’ogni lor forza.
