| Expándi manus meas ad te,* ánima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi. |
I have stretched out my hands to you,* my soul is like a land without water for you. |
The word manus is a fourth declension feminine noun. It may appear to be a second declension noun to the unobservant reader! Meas goes with manus giving us a smooth feminine plural accusative my hands.
