The parts of the Psalm I have left out are the parts that refer to wicked earthly rulers, but it is
agreed upon by many scholars that this part of the Psalm refers to the fallen angels. While Genesis 6 tells that angels married women, it does not condemn this as a sin. Psalm 82 tells that the elohim sinned, but does not tell how (i.e. it does not mention that they married women). It may have
been that the angels sinned by reproducing. Certain passages in Jewish Midrash talk of how angels
are immortal and do not need to reproduce. Because humans are not, they must reproduce in
order to achieve immortality in their descendents.
