Every expression of הִגָיוֹן in the Torah refers to the [meditation] of the heart, says that הִגָיוֹן sometimes refers to speech as it is written: And my tongue will speak (תֶּהְגֶה) of Your righteousness (Tehillim 35:28). as it is said, ‘And the thoughts of my heart before you;’ ‘Your heart will give forth fearful thoughts.’
