I swear (down)
Another option, very informal.
It would depend on the surrounding context, but the equivalent in British English would be ´I swear down´ (very British, very colloquial London) or just simply ´I swear´. See Urban dictionary reference.
So it depends on the register of the text, if it´s very informal, then this is a good option.

Example sentence:
