What is the meaning of NAFSHI 'ESSA' (NEFESH NASA') in Psalm 25:1? The same
phrase occurs in Psalm 86:4 and 143:8.

Does it mean "I desire You" or is "I communicate with You my emotions,
desires and passions?" I'm not trying to limit your options, but I am
sharing with you the options that appear most likely to me.
