*CANTATA # 131 Aus der Tiefe* (Out of the Deep) is one of Bach's oldest
surviving cantatas composed in 1707 in
Mühlhausen<http://odur.let.rug.nl/Linguistics/diversen/bach/muehlhausen>.
It is believed to have been composed in response to a catastrophic fire
devastated more than 300 houses in
Mühlhausen<http://odur.let.rug.nl/Linguistics/diversen/bach/muehlhausen>on
May 30, 1707.
Using the text of Psalm 130 as its foundation, the cantata expresses faith
and trust in God which brings hope.
