It can vary from state-to-state - and in many states it is not the Bailiff that does the swearing-in. In some states it is the Clerk of the Court that does the swearing-in, and in still others the judge themself handles the job. The actual words go something like, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you?" Fewer and fewer court systems (if any) use a Bible for swearing in wtinesses any longer, or use the words, "so help you God.'

∙ 11y agoFor the State of Louisiana: :Do you swear that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Additional: This oath will not be the same in all jurisdictions. In some, the reference to "God" has been omitted due to the fact that it has been successfully argued that Atheists and other non-believers, can claim that they did not perjure themselves due to the fact that they recognize no oath invoking the name of deity in which they do not believe.
In one state court circuit (at least the one I am most familiar with) the oath is: "Do you solemnly swear, or affirm, that the testimony you are about to give shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"
