uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

מִי־זֹ֥את הַ⁠נִּשְׁקָפָ֖ה כְּמוֹ־שָׁ֑חַר יָפָ֣ה כַ⁠לְּבָנָ֗ה בָּרָה֙ כַּֽ⁠חַמָּ֔ה אֲיֻמָּ֖ה כַּ⁠נִּדְגָּלֽוֹת

who? this(f) [is]_the,[one_who]_looks_down like dawn beautiful like,moon bright like,sun awesome like_(the)_[hosts],banners

The author does not say who is speaking here so you should not indicate explicitly who is speaking in the text of your translation. However, if you are using section headers, the speaker or speakers could be: (1) the man speaking to the woman he loves. You can follow the example of the UST and include this verse under the section heading for 6:4-10 that indicates the man is speaking. (2) the “daughters,” the “queens,” and the “concubines” mentioned in the previous verse. You can use a phrase for the section header such as “The daughters, the queens, and the concubines praise the woman” or “The other women praise the woman” or something comparable.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִי־זֹ֥את הַ⁠נִּשְׁקָפָ֖ה כְּמוֹ־שָׁ֑חַר יָפָ֣ה כַ⁠לְּבָנָ֗ה בָּרָה֙ כַּֽ⁠חַמָּ֔ה אֲיֻמָּ֖ה כַּ⁠נִּדְגָּלֽוֹת

who? this(f) [is]_the,[one_who]_looks_down like dawn beautiful like,moon bright like,sun awesome like_(the)_[hosts],banners

The man is not asking for information but is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Look at this woman who looks down like the dawn, beautiful like the moon, pure like the sun, terrifying like the bannered army!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

הַ⁠נִּשְׁקָפָ֖ה כְּמוֹ־שָׁ֑חַר

[is]_the,[one_who]_looks_down like dawn

Here the man speaks of the woman and compares her to the sun as it dawns in the morning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the woman who shines like the sun as it rises early in the morning and brightens the sky] or [the woman who shines like the sun as it rises early in the morning and shines down from the sky]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

[is]_the,[one_who]_looks_down like dawn beautiful like,moon bright like,sun

Here the man first says that the woman is like the sun in the morning as it dawns. He then says that her beauty is like the beauty of the moon. He then compares the woman’s radiance to the radiance of the sun. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state these comparisons explicitly.
