He composed it in Leipzig for the eighth Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on 30 July 1724. It is a chorale cantata from his second annual cycle, based on the hymn "ドイツ語:Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält" (1524) by Justus Jonas, a paraphrase of Psalm 124. == History and words == Bach composed the cantata in his second year in Leipzig for the Eighth Sunday after Trinity.〔 The prescribed readings for the Sunday are from the Epistle to the Romans, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" (), and from the Gospel of Matthew, the warning of false prophets from the Sermon on the Mount (). The cantata text is based on the hymn "ドイツ語:Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält", published in 1524 by the Lutheran reformer Justus Jonas as a paraphrase of Psalm 124.〔〔 The theme of the psalm, the need of help against raging enemies, corresponds to the Gospel. Compared to Bach's other chorale cantatas of the period, the unknown poet kept much of the original text, six of the eight stanzas, expanding two of them by recitative, to connect even closer to the Gospel. He paraphrased only stanzas 3 and 6 to an aria each. In the last aria, in a statement of opposition to rationalism—the "weasel words of rationalists, who would bring down the whole Lutheran theological edifice" in the words of John Eliot Gardiner〔—the poet expands the words of the reformers' hymn, "ドイツ語:Vernunft kann das nicht fassen" (reason cannot grasp it),〔 appealing to reason, described as unstable and frenzied, to be silent.〔 Bach first performed the cantata on 30 July 1724,〔 as the eighth chorale cantata of his second annual cycle.〔〔 Johann Nikolaus Forkel borrowed the manuscripts of Bach's chorale cantatas from Bach's son Friedemann and copied two of the cantatas, ドイツ語:''Es ist das Heil uns kommen her'', BWV 9, and this cantata.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält, BWV 178」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
