Commentary for Deuteronomy 32:18
צ֥וּר יְלָדְךָ֖ תֶּ֑שִׁי וַתִּשְׁכַּ֖ח אֵ֥ל מְחֹלְלֶֽךָ׃
Of the Rock that begot thee thou wast unmindful, And didst forget God that bore thee. .
Rashi on Deuteronomy
תשי means THOU HAST FORGOTTEN. But our Rabbis explained it thus: whenever He was about to bestow good upon you, you provoked Him to anger and, as it were, weakened (תש) His power so that He could not do you good (Sifrei Devarim 319:3).

Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Deuteronomy
You disregard. The letter yud, with the value of 10, is small, to imply that Hashem gave you Ten Commandments, and you tested Him with ten trials, and also to imply that Hashem should remember Avraham whom he tested with ten tests.
