حَلَفْتُ I swore
A completed past-tense verb with the -tu 'I' ending built in. Sitting inside an 'if' clause, the past form here carries a hypothetical sense rather than a real past act: 'if I should swear', the supposed condition on which the rest depends.

If I had sworn, I would have hoped to keep it.
حَلَفْتُ I had sworn
This is a past-tense verb with the subject ending '-I' built into it, so no separate pronoun is needed. It sits in the condition half of the unreal 'if' frame, the supposed swearing. The first-person ending pins the hypothetical act to the speaker himself.
