Why does it say "Adoneinu"?

1.

Radak: We accepted Him to be Master and Elokim over us. The other nations accepted the Heavenly legions for their Elokim, each according to its custom.

2.

Malbim: This refers to Hashgachah.

3)

What is "Gadol mi'Kol Elohim"?

1.

Radak: It is greater than the Heavenly legions and the angels that conduct the world; therefore, they are called Elohim. Our Master is greater, for they act only with His power and command.

2.

Malbim: He is the first and last cause of everything. He conducts, oversees and rules as He wants. All natural forces submit to His desire and Hashgachah.
