Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

he renders judgment

(Some words not found in UHB: song of,Asaph ʼElohīm stands in/on/at/with,assembly_of divine in/on/at/with,midst_of ʼElohīm holds_judgement )

“he gives judgment.” If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word judgment, you could express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “he judges”

the gods

(Some words not found in UHB: song of,Asaph ʼElohīm stands in/on/at/with,assembly_of divine in/on/at/with,midst_of ʼElohīm holds_judgement )

This could mean: (1) these are other spiritual beings who dwell in heaven. Alternate translation: “the divine beings” or “the heavenly judges” or (2) these are human judges that God has appointed. Either way, it does not mean they are gods like Yahweh is god. It means God has given them great power and authority. Alternate translation: “the rulers”
