What does it mean to cry out to God from the depths?

Answered in 1 source

Crying out to God from the depths signifies a humble recognition of one's need for His mercy and deliverance.

Crying out to God from the depths, as articulated in Psalm 130:1, illustrates the intense desperation that can accompany human suffering and sin. It speaks to our instinctive turn toward God when faced with overwhelming circumstances. This prayer is an ascent—a movement from despair towards hope, aiming to connect with the God who hears. The imagery suggests a deep longing for rescue, reminiscent of Jonah's cry from the belly of the fish, recognizing the necessity of God's intervening grace. The psalmist's heart mirrors that of many believers who, in their darkest moments, find comfort and solace in reaching out to the Lord, trusting in His covenant promises for redemption.
