Yes, that's right. I fear him! That's what it means to be in awe of Him and revere Him! I highly esteem Him. Deeply respect and venerate Him! I worship Him!
Does not sound like fear to you? Well, that's the kind of fear God had in mind for you to feel towards Him. God is good. He does not want you to be afraid or frightened of Him like what we think of when we think of fear.
So fear of the Lord means extreme reverence or awe. The synonyms for 'revere' is worship, venerate, adore, idolize.
So in this case, I have definite 'fear of the Lord!'
