Why does it say "l'Dor va'Dor Emunasecha Konanta"?

1.

Radak: Even though the legions of the land do not last 1 , Your Emunah is established. It is the existence of the world; You prepared that it endure forever. "L'Dor va'Dor" is like "Dor Holech v'Dor Ba" (Koheles 1:4).

2.

Malbim: "L'Dor va'Dor" hints that progeny of the land perish; there is a difference between past generations and new generations. Even so, Your Emunah stands - the promise that the species will not cease - "Oseh Pri l'Mino", "Peru u'Rvu" (Bereishis 1:11, 22).
