Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠יִרְאַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה מִבְטַח־עֹ֑ז

in/on/at/with,fear YHWH confidence strong

Here Solomon refers to someone having confidence because that person has the fear of Yahweh as if the fear of Yahweh were a location in which confidence resided. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The fear of Yahweh is the source of the confidence of the strong one” or “The confidence of the strong one is because he has the fear of Yahweh”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּ⁠יִרְאַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

עֹ֑ז וּ֝⁠לְ⁠בָנָ֗י⁠ו יִהְיֶ֥ה

strong and,for,children,his will_belong

Here, the strong one, his, and he refer to a type of person in general, not to one specific person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “any strong person, and for that person’s sons that person will be”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

וּ֝⁠לְ⁠בָנָ֗י⁠ו

and,for,children,his

Although the term sons is masculine, Solomon is using the word here in a generic sense that could refer to either male or female children. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “and for his children”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִהְיֶ֥ה מַחְסֶֽה

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מַחְסֶֽה

refuge

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of refuge, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “someone who protects”
