Ditat Deus (Latin "God enriches") is the state motto of Arizona.

It was first included in the state seal by the Secretary of the Arizona Territory, Richard Cunningham McCormick, and has not been changed through the years. According to George Earlie Shankle in State Names, Flags, Seals, Songs, Birds, Flowers, and Other Symbols (1970), the motto is probably an abbreviation of Genesis (14:23) of the Latin Vulgate version of the Bible.
