28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

Which gods should we not revile? Is this referring to a certain office that man holds- maybe a priest or ruler or something?

Jesus confirmed this...

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

Interestingly the NKJV translates "gods" as "God"

Portuguese translates as "judges", the same way Spanish does

Portuguese: "Não injuriará aos "juizes", nem amaldiçoará ao príncipe de seu povo."
Spanish: "No denostarás á los "jueces", ni maldecirás al príncipe de tu pueblo."

I think this refers to the office of rulers rather than to God or gods as idols.

Accordance software explains the word "gods (Elohim) is occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates)"

Meaning not the idols of the Gentiles, which they reckon gods, and worship as such; which is the sense of Philo, and some others, particularly JosephusF9, who, to curry favour with the Roman emperors given to idolatry, has from hence inserted the following among the laws given to Moses;"let no man blaspheme the gods, which other cities think are such, nor rob strange sacred places, nor receive a gift dedicated to any deity;'but this cannot be the sense of the text, being contrary to Deuteronomy 12:2 nor can it be thought that care should be taken, lest the honour of the Heathen deities should be detracted from; but civil magistrates, the judges of the land, and the like, are meant, who are powers ordained of God, are in his stead, and represent him, and therefore respect should be shown them; nor should they be treated with any degree of slight and contempt, which may discourage and intimidate them, and deter them from the execution of their office: the Targum of Jonathan interprets them of judges very rightly, agreeably to Psalm 82:1 and so Aben Ezra says,"they are the judges and the priests, the sons of Levi, with whom the law is:"
