That is indeed the line being translated. But whatever Vader means when 
he says the line, he doesn't mention faith in /what/ -- that's only 
understood contextually. Thus, using *voq* without specifying what is 
trusted is a better translation.

As for saying it more clearly, in case you haven't seen it, I think my 
own *muSuj voqbe'ghachlIj* is the most... ah... faithful translation.
