Exegesis
The prepositional phrase la-YHWH {לַיהוָ֥ה | lə-Yəhōwāh} ‘to the LORD’ identifies the divine addressee, with Elohai {אֱלֹהַ֖י | ʼĕlōhāy} ‘my God’ establishing personal relationship.
In context — Daniel 9:4
And I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, and said, "Please, Lord, the great and awesome God, keeper of the covenant and steadfast love to those who love Him and to those who keep His commandments."
