Exegesis
The verse opens with the Hiphil perfect vahakimoti {וַהֲקִמֹתִ֨י | wă-hă-qî-mō-tî} ‘and I will establish’, where the vav-consecutive projects this committed action forward in the narrative, with the first-person subject understood as the divine speaker.
In context — Genesis 17:7
I will confirm My covenant between Me and you and between your seed after you in every generation, as an everlasting covenant, so that I will be God to you and to your seed after you.
