Exegesis
The dative laadonai {לַאדֹנָי | la-ʾa-do-nai} ‘to the Lord’ denotes the divine beneficiary, while lador {לַדּוֹר | la-dor} ‘for a generation’ marks the temporal audience. The pairing of the imperfect verbs and the double dative emphasizes the certainty of future service and the enduring testimony to Adonai.
In context — Psalm 22:30
Offspring will serve Him ; it will be recounted to the Lord for a generation.
