What does it mean to fear the Lord?
Do not fear to draw near to God, but keep the fear of God before your eyes, lest you run away (lest you fall into sin). God is a joy to be near and a terror to those who flee. If you are running from God because you are afraid of him, then you are not yet as afraid as you should be. The fear of the Lord is the fear of fleeing out of his fellowship into sin. (Isaiah 8:13, Psalm 34:7, Psalm 103:11-13, Psalm 145:19)
Why should we praise one who fears the Lord?
Psalm 37:4- delight yourself in what God delights. When we praise one who fears the Lord, we praise God.
What does a woman who fears the Lord look like?

4.will not live for herself but for others (31)
5.lives for the good of the needy (31)
