Gary,

The LXX text which I'm working with has both. The full verse is: "Be glad, O heavens, together with Him, and do obeisance to Him, all angels of God; Be glad O nations with His people, and grow in strength, O sons of God; for the blood of his sons He shall avenge, and he shall avenge and recompense punishment to the enemies, and to the ones detesting him he shall recompense, and the Lord shall clear out the land for His people".

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.
