"This is a very beautiful yet very intricate latin motto. Of course every motto has a multitude of interpretations but this one in particular can be seen from various angles. That's deliberate, for sure.
Deus meumque Jus at the first glance means "God and my Right". This is the orthodox translation but frankly it means nothing. A more close sentence would be "God that is my Right". In that sense it means that God is men's Right ("Right" here like in the sense of "Right of birth") but also that God is men's model of Righteousness or that God is men's Law. Remember the freemasons use this as a motto and freemasonry binds on the idea of a Right pattern of conduct. The ambiguity here can be explained because "Jus" is a latin word which stands for both Right (in the constitutional sense) and Law.
That takes us to what I personally consider to be the most central sense of the motto. It could also be translated to "God is my Oath". In that sense we could say those who seek the light oath themselves under the name of God.
God is men's Right but God is also men's Law and Men's Oath. Those who seek the light are in the right to do so but they must follow the light as it is required from them and the light must be all-sacred to them. Compare that to what Isaiah said, that God is law-maker, judge and king.
God makes the law so God is definitely the one from which the whole of the Law comes from and therefore God is men's Law. God Judges and because he Judges above all the other Judges he is the manifestation of the working law that never fails, from God comes the perfect judgement so God is the perfect model of righteousness. Crowning the whole concept we believe God is king and those who abide in the kingdom of God take the oath of obeying him as one takes the oath of obeying his king.
It's no coincidence that this motto can be interpreted in three ways. Think about it."
