Overview
Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir, BWV 131, is a church cantata by the German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. It was composed in either 1707 or 1708, which makes it one of Bach's earliest cantatas. Some sources suggest that it could be his earliest surviving work in this form, but current thinking is that there are one or two earlier examples.

Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir.
Herr, höre meine Stimme, lass deine Ohren merken auf die Stimme
meines Flehens!
