Word order in Latin is in fact far less important than it is in English. In classical
Latin, the most common word order would be Veritas vos liberabit. However,
this is a quotation from the Bible (John 8:32) and the Latin Vulgate has this word
order: Veritas liberabit vos. So you can choose one for the classic word order or
another as a direct quotation from the Latin Vulgate.
