H2556c H2556c
ruthless, violent (person)
This participle describes someone who acts ruthlessly or violently. Psalm 71:4 uses it in parallel with 'wicked' and 'unjust,' asking God for deliverance 'from the hand of the ruthless one.' The word captures unrelenting, harsh treatment—someone who shows no mercy or compassion. It appears only here, making it a rare but vivid term for the kind of enemy the psalmist faces.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A ruthless or violent person who acts without mercy. The parallel terms in Psalm 71:4 ('wicked,' 'unjust,' 'ruthless') build a picture of comprehensive moral failure—someone both legally unjust and personally cruel. Spanish 'violento' (violent) and English 'ruthless' both capture the harsh, unrelenting character. The psalm's cry for deliverance from such a person reflects the vulnerability of the righteous before brutal enemies. 1×
