I must admit my mind still gets wrapped around the axle when I try to understand how the proper fear of God can be described by all these adjectives and nouns that strike me as having nothing to do with fear.
I am going to need to grab a concordance and study this thoroughly, because I just am not getting it.

I have this un Biblical fear and I don't know what to do.

ask the LORD and tell Him you want to learn to Fear Him- not like some of the ideas you hear around that just seem to water it down- the full fear of the LORD.
And present yourself to Him daily- a whole burnt offering joined to Christ- The Whole Burnt Offering who lives Blameless before the Father in the Fear of the LORD: Heb 5:7-
[Rom 12:1-2 NASB20] 1 Therefore I urge you, brothers [and sisters,] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, [which is] your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Let Him speak to you from there- He told Moses that He would speak to him at that Mercy Seat- above those Cheubim and the sprinkled Blood of the Firstborn Lamb. Ex 25
yāʿaḏ- appointed meeting place; to betroth a bride.
