O sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless (affectionately praise) His name; show forth His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples.
Do not let your heart envy sinners [who live godless lives and have no hope of salvation], But [continue to] live in the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord day by day. (Proverbs 23:17, AMP)

Let’s finish this week by looking at the “Fear of the Lord”. Altogether, this phrase occurs fourteen times in the book of Proverbs. If something is worth mentioning fourteen times, than my guess is it’s pretty important. Let’s take a look at some more of Solomon’s thoughts on this.
The mind of the prudent [always] acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise [always] seeks knowledge. (Proverbs 18:15, AMP)

We are exploring four of the many characteristics there are of a man or woman of wisdom this week. Today, we will look at a fourth quality produced by a man or woman of wisdom.
Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2 It is beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth.
Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.
3 God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her fortress.
Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
