Page "Elohim" Paragraph 32

Marti Steussy in “ Chalice Introduction to the Old Testament ” discusses: “ The first verse of Psalm 82: ‘ Elohim has taken his place in the divine council .’ Here elohim has a singular verb and clearly refers to God.

But in verse 6 of the Psalm, God says to the other members of the council, ‘ You are elohim .’ Here elohim has to mean gods .”
