Yigal, all angels of God in the LXX text is actually all sons of God, so
maybe this has something to do with the reason it was dropped in the MT?

.... all you gods". If I had to guess, I'd assume that the Qumran version is
earlier, and that the Greek version(s) that we have
today, which are all based on manuscripts that are later than Qumran,
actually "cleaned it up" by replacing "gods" with "angels of God". As to why
neither version appears in the MT - probably scribal error, simply "skipping"
a line.
