Why did he say "v'Atah"?

1.

Malbim: The more that Hashem benefits a person, the more he must serve Hashem and be humble in front of Him. This is why a Kohen Gadol bows at the end of every Berachah [of Shemoneh Esre]; a king, once he bows, he does not straighten up [until the end of his Tefilah]. A king must have a Sefer Torah with him, and read it every day. All of Yisrael received Eretz Yisrael - they must fulfill Torah to remain in the land.
