"Lay down" is past tense. Present tense would be "lie down." You would say, "I lie down on my bed right now," which is in the present, but "I lay down on my bed yesterday," which is in the past. The verb itself is "lie," meaning to recline. The verb "lay" means to place something somewhere. You might say, "I lay the book on the table right now" (present tense), but "I laid the paper on the floor yesterday."
Garrison's Gorillas - 1967 Now I Lay Me Down to Die 1-8 was released on: USA: 24 October 1967
Possibly it is this one: == But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
Lay is a transitive verb and needs an object - lay (something) down or lay down (something) Lie is intransitive and doesn't need an object - i lie on the floor The confusion arises from the fact that "lay" is also the past tense of "lie" In the present "I lie in my bed" In the past "I lay in my bed" I would recommend "Lie down and go to sleep.". But now I lay me down to sleep. Because the object is me (though it should be myself).
