'Reverent' in the Bible
Worship the Lord and serve Him with reverence [with awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder];Rejoice [yet do so] with trembling.
But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy;At Your holy temple I will bow [obediently] in reverence for You.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;The judgments of the Lord are true, they are righteous altogether.
The righteous will see it and fear,And will [scoffingly] laugh, saying,
Who understands the power of Your anger? [Who connects this brevity of life among us with Your judgment of sin?]And Your wrath, [who connects it] with the [reverent] fear that is due You?
O come, let us worship and bow down,Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker [in reverent praise and prayer].
The [reverent] fear of the Lord is the beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute essential, the alphabet) of wisdom;A good understanding and a teachable heart are possessed by all those who do the will of the Lord;His praise endures forever.
