My suggestion is to get yourself the Ignatius Press edition of the Revised Standard Version

Or what I do when teaching is to read several different translations, check Strong's, look for other instances of the original word used by the same writer as well as other writers, look for context and compare to major biblical themes of sin and need for a savior etc. Then turn over the verses to God and ask for guidance.

If all you do is the last step, the translations won't matter. If your heart is open, the Holy Spirit will set you right about the verses.

Yours: Psalm 122.1 “I was glad when they said unto me/Let us go to the Lord’s house”

I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

Psalm 122.1 (KJV)
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Psalm 122.1 (NASB)
I was glad when they said to me,“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

Psalm 122.1 (ESV)
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”

Psalm 122.1 (YLT)
I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.’

Psalm 122.1 (NLT)
I was glad when they said to me,“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

Bear in mind that the Bible was not written in King James English, Common English, RSV English, or any other form of English. It was written in Hebrew, Arabic and Greek. All English translations are just that; translations. Each translation renders some words differently from the next, but all of them preserve the basic message of the original. One exception to that is the bible you are promoting. The Revised Standard Version was translated by people who didn't believe the basic message of the Gospel (Look it up!) and much of it is rendered to dilute the power of the gospel.
