Oh, I thought that was obvious--this verse has many meanings---as often God's words do. First--on the surface, they are those who God called and appointed to be leaders and rulers in the church. Second, they are the offspring of God --which is why the next verses states "and children of the Most High"---who had forgotten who they were and were such behaving a way unbecoming both a leader and a child of God. God reminds these leaders that while they are called of God to be "gods"---that ALL are children of the Most High. This verse calls these "children of God" or "gods' into remembrance or at least asks them to remember and begin acting accordingly. He reminds them of their mortality and that they "being gods" fell like Adam and will die like Adam.
Is that enough of an explanation for you?
