Deuteronomy 6:13

6:13 You must revere the Lord your God, serve him, and take oaths using only his name.

Psalms 63:11

63:11 But the king ¹  will rejoice in God;

everyone who takes oaths in his name ²  will boast,

for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up. ³ 

Isaiah 45:23

45:23 I solemnly make this oath ⁴  –

what I say is true and reliable: ⁵ 

‘Surely every knee will bow to me,

every tongue will solemnly affirm; ⁶ 

[63:11]  ¹ sn The psalmist probably refers to himself in the third person here.

[63:11]  ² tn Heb “who swears [an oath] by him.”

[63:11]  ³ tn The Niphal of this verb occurs only here and in Gen 8:2, where it is used of God “stopping” or “damming up” the great deep as he brought the flood to an end.

[45:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “I swear by myself”; KJV, NASB “have sworn.”

[45:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “a word goes out from my mouth [in] truth and will not return.”

[45:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “swear” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV); NLT “confess allegiance.”
