Haste

This word imply means “speed.”  It is not usually used in a negative context, as it might be today.  If you say that one is a “hasty” person, or does something with haste, it usually implies that they were careless about their manner of activity, and in such a rush that they do not attend details with due care.

Biblically, it is a term applied to how Yahweh may answer His people, “Make haste to help me, Adonai, my salvation.” (Psa 38:22)  See also Psa 22:19, Psa 40:13, 71:12, 116:11 and so on.
