Literally: According to the humbleness of my mind / According to my mind
Idiomatically: In my humble opinion / In my opinion

"Lefi Daat" - according to the opinion - is found in Proverbs 12:8: "Hakol lefi daato shel haroeh" which can be freely translated into "Everything is in the mind of the beholder." You will find that the two phrases, "Lefi daati" and "Lefi aniyut daati" are used by anyone wanting to express an opinion. In reality, both are the same except that the one who uses the word humble is probably the more pompous of the two. That is, in my humble opinion (IMHO).
