Answered in 1 source

The fear of the Lord is a deep reverence and awe for God, as expressed in His Word.

The fear of the Lord, highlighted in Psalm 19:9, relates to having a profound respect and reverence for who God is. It involves understanding His holiness and righteousness, leading to a sincere worship and acknowledgment of His authority. This fear is clean and enduring, shaping the believer's character and motivating them to live in accordance with God’s commands.
