111:10 The first half of this verse, drawn from Pr 1:7, reminds people that the proper response to all that God has done is reverential fear. To fear the Lord is to trust in him, obey him, and worship him as God and Savior. The word indicates both a shrinking back from something, out of a sense of awe, and an attraction to it in adoration and wonder. The OT has no expression corresponding to our general concept of “being religious,” but uses phrases that relate specifically to Yahweh, such as knowing the Lord, being faithful to the Lord, and fearing the Lord.
