Exegesis
The construct chain zammōtî {זַ֝מֹּתִ֗י | zam-mō-tî} and pî {פִּֽי | pî} forms an idiom expressing a resolve to restrain speech, moving from past divine examination to future self-control.
In context — Psalm 17:3
You have examined my heart; You have visited me at night ; You have tested me and You will find nothing; I am resolved that my mouth will not transgress.
