It appears to me possible that a yod fell off (or rather moved and  
merged into the next word)
and that it should be זרעי  ZARIY, 'my seed'; with the essence of  
the sentence being that the
praise and worship of ADONAY will never cease.

Otherwise the word ISRAEL, the AM NOLAD of the next verse, is missing  
after ZERA.
