In the Arabic, Farsi and Urdu language the plural nouns are normally used to denote respect.

When Allah talks about Himself, His names, His attributes(siffat), His essence; He talks about these things with a language of respect, using the plurals.

This is just how language is. And when this is translated into the English language the term "We" or "Us" is used.
