the LORD your God

Reading Leviticus 19, I was struck with the repeated phrase "the LORD your God". The exact phrase appears 140 times in KJV. Here are the verses where the LORD my God reminds me that He is the LORD my God in Leviticus 19:

Lev 19:2 KJV - Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God [am] holy.
Lev 19:3 KJV - Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I [am] the LORD your God. 
Lev 19:4 KJV - Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the LORD your God.
Lev 19:10 KJV - And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.
Lev 19:25 KJV - And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I [am] the LORD your God.
Lev 19:31 KJV - Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD your God.
Lev 19:34 KJV - [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.
Lev 19:36 KJV - Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
LORD, You are my God!
