Jehovah
And thus we see how merciful and just are all the dealings of the Lord, to the fulfilling of all his words unto the children of men; yea, we can behold that his words are verified, even at this time, which he spake unto Lehi, saying: Alma 50:19–20
Mormon quotes the Lord's own covenant words to Lehi: keep my commandments and prosper, or be cut off from His presence. The Lord who spoke to Lehi is Jehovah, the premortal Jesus Christ, and Mormon points out that His mercy and justice kept every word.
