How does one's fear of God relate to His mercy?

Answered in 1 source

The fear of God is a reverent awe that leads to receiving His mercy and grace.

In Psalm 103, it is noted that the mercy of the Lord is upon those who fear Him. This 'fear' refers to a respectful and reverent relationship with God, recognizing His holiness and authority. Such reverence opens the believer to receive God's mercy, which is abundant and eternal. To fear the Lord is to acknowledge His greatness and to trust in His good character, which results in a profound sense of security and love that believers experience in their walk with Him.
