He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
God himself is Job's salvation, the one who is able to save him. That trust is maintained even in severe trial, when Job expects that God may take his life and slay him. Job is confident that he is not a hypocrite, for a hypocrite shall not come before God but will be barred from His presence.
His suffering and despair, and his discouragement and testing, give way to implicit trust in God's mercy and saving power. His declaration is an example of faith in God's mercy and saving power amid such trial. It stands with Job 13:15 and Job 19:25-27 among texts supporting confidence in God's help and faithfulness.
