"Do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America" means that whoever is saying it (in this case "the people of the United States" (see below)) are appointing or creating something,and asserting their authority to do so. What they are appointing or creating is the constitution, the reasons for which they also explain (as below), and they are doing it *for* the United States of America... the group of people who will be ruled by it, in this land. The ordain part is often used in a religious context, and could hint at the approval of God for the enterprise, but it is also just used as another word for establish, order, or decree, so it would work with that interpretation or without.
The wording in the constitution is as follows:
We the People of the United States, in Order to from a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The verb "ordain" can mean to officially enact, and "establish" means to found or define. This phrase in the preamble to the US Constitution simply means the Constitution is being put into place as the basis for the US government.
