Note 1 topic: translate-tense

כָּל־כְּבוּדָּ֣ה בַת־מֶ֣לֶךְ פְּנִ֑ימָה מִֽ⁠מִּשְׁבְּצ֖וֹת זָהָ֣ב לְבוּשָֽׁ⁠הּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the_daughter_of Tsor/(Tyre) with,a_gift face_of,your seek rich_of people )

In this poem celebrating the king’s wedding, the psalmist is not following a strict chronological sequence. In verse 9, he presented a portrait of the bride, groom, and attendants in their formal places at the ceremony. In verses 13–15, he describes the procession of the bride and her attendants to the ceremony. That procession took place before he started singing this song, so in some languages, it may be appropriate to describe them in a past tense. The UST models one way to do that.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בַת־מֶ֣לֶךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the_daughter_of Tsor/(Tyre) with,a_gift face_of,your seek rich_of people )

By the daughter of the king, the psalmist means the same person whom he calls the “queen” in verse 9. (This indicates that her father is the king of a foreign country.) You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the royal bride]
