Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect tas-tîr {תַּסְתִּיר | tas-tîr} ‘hide deliberately’ governs the direct object marker ʾet {אֶת־ | ʾet} and pā-nê-ḵā {פָּנֶיךָ | pā-nê-ḵā} ‘your face’, an idiom signifying divine presence.
In context — Psalm 13:1
How long, O LORD , will You forget me—will it be forever ? How long will You hide Your face from me?
