The Hebrew word is 'yare' and is found over 300 times in the OT. In most cases this word is translated to 'afraid' or 'fear'.
In 80% the object of fear is God.
This 'fear' isn't terror or dread, but awe and respect.
This 'fear of the LORD' is consistant with a way of life that is connected to an inner attitude of reverence towards God.
This way of life is an expression of worship.
