"Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir" is a German hymn with a text by Georg Christoph Schwämmlein. The opening lines of the hymn stay close to those of Psalm 130, while most stanzas of the hymn are written from a Christian perspective. It was first published, with its own hymn tune, in the Nürnberg hymnal of 1676. Gottfried Vopelius published it with a new hymn tune in the 1682 Neu Leipziger Gesangbuch, p. 936. From 1699 to 1738 the hymn was published with four more new melodies.
