Hi Jerry,
According to E-Sword there are 11 places in which the phrase "sons of God" is found in the Bible. Job has 3 and I believe it can be determined that all the places outside of Job is referring to humans. Now the Scripture that you referred to in Job is speaking of a time when these "sons of God" are rejoicing at the creation.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
That had to be before people were created on earth, so we can safely presume that it was angels. Here is where Ray's speaks on this.

It says, “In a beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” But then we read something over in Job 38.
Job 38:1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
v. 2 Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge?
v. 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare you unto Me.
v. 4 Where was you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, it to Me if you have understanding.
v. 5 Who determined the measures thereof, if you know? Or who stretched the line upon it?
v. 6 Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,
v. 7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Whoops, wait a minute, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…” And this is the beginning of things? Apparently not. What was the first created, the heaven or the earth? The heavens... and the earth. So when we come to the earth, the heavens are already created. And when He creates the earth, low and behold we have the morning stars shouting for joy. Where did they come from, if this is in the beginning?
Alright, first of all when it says morning stars, this is the breaking of day, the dawn. So what is the breaking of day or dawn? That’s when the earth moves and the sun appears to go up and come down. The whole thing is working! Everything is already working, the earth is turning and now these sons of the dawn, of this turning earth, are shouting for joy and singing.
But we learn in Job 1, that these sons of God presented themselves to Him and Satan came among them. Remember what Satan was saying about Job, and God said, well you can do anything you want, but spare his life and so on. These are the angelic beings, we’re not told where they are created in Genesis. But now we know. They had to be created between the heavens and the earth. So by the time the earth was created, they are already here. Now we got the proof.
So He created the heavens and He creates the earth, and then God had to probably say, ‘alright turn it on.’ ‘Turn it, spin it.’ Okay now we got day and night. ‘Now push it, push it around the sun.’ Ok now we have the seasons. The days and nights, and seasons, it’s all starting to work. And the sons of God are shouting for joy and singing.
