It depends which country you're in - In america, the clerk quotes the phrase "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God" - to which the person in the witness box responds "I do."

In the UK, the person in the witness box is asked their religion, and given an appropriate card to read. For example - if the witness is a Christian - they read out loud from a card "I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
