I've been googling this for ages, and can't find it. All I can remember from mine is that I will reject Satan and his ways. The wording isn't like that, but something similar. There was something about believing in the holy trinity....
They're the same ones you take at baptism

What do the baptismal promises have to do with Confirmation?
At Baptism, the child's parents & godparents make the vows. At Confirmation, the young person makes the vows for him/herself..Catholic ChurchIn the Catholic Church, Confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist, all of which are given at the same time, shortly after birth, except in the Latin Rite, in which they are separated. Thus the baptismal promises are an integral part of all three sacraments, but the sacrament of confirmation is just the strengthening of the Holy Spirit to live out those promises. In all but the Latin Rite, the confirmand is a newborn and much too young to "renew" the vows for himself. So the Baptismal promises are integral to all three, but the specific action of Confirmation is the strengthening by the Holy Spirit to live out those promises.
