Is there any reference in the Quran (or any other Islamic Literature) about the divinity of humans as referenced in Psalms 82:6?

In the TaNaK/Christian old testament there is a Psalm that references the children of The Supreme One/Most High GOD as being divine:
> Psalms 82:6 אֲנִי-אָמַרְתִּי, אֱלֹהִים אַתֶּם; וּבְנֵי עֶלְיוֹן כֻּלְּכֶם. 6 I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.
Yahshua/Jesus/Isa also used as a reference in The Brit Chadasha/Christian New Testament:
> John 10:34-36: 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law,
> I said, Ye are gods?
>
> 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the
> scripture cannot be broken;
>
> 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the
> world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
It is also mentioned in the Gospel of John as Christ's ability to be a vessel to give access to those who following his teachings, to also become Divine:
> John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name
Now I want to make clear when I write/mention divine is not to be confused as proclaiming to being or becoming The Supreme One/The Most High GOD themselves but Divine as a means of elevating and becoming one/connecting/knowing/being intimate with The Supreme One/Most High GOD. Is there an equivalent scripture/passage referenced in the Quran or in any commentaries/literature within the Islamic Faith? Thank you, Peace, and Blessings to you.
