The Ark is opened:

שְׁמַע קוֹלֵֽנוּיְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ חוּס וְרַחֵם עָלֵֽינוּ וְקַבֵּל בְּרַחֲמִים וּבְרָצוֹן אֶת תְּפִלָּתֵֽנוּ: הֲשִׁיבֵֽנוּ יְהֹוָה אֵלֶֽיךָ וְנָשֽׁוּבָה חַדֵּשׁ יָמֵֽינוּ כְּקֶֽדֶם: אַל תַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנוּ מִלְּפָנֶֽיךָ וְרֽוּחַ קָדְשְׁךָ אַל תִּקַּח מִמֶּֽנּוּ: אַל תַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנוּ לְעֵת זִקְנָה כִּכְלוֹת כֹּחֵֽנוּ אַל תַּעַזְבֵֽנוּ:

The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986

Hear our voice, Adonoy, our God; spare us and have compassion on us, and accept our prayers mercifully and willingly. Lead us back to You, Adonoy and we shall find the way back; renew our days as of old. Cast us not away from Your Presence, and Your holy spirit take not from us. Do not cast us off in time of old age, when our strength fails, do not forsake us.

אַל תַּעַזְבֵֽנוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ אַל תִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנּוּ: עֲשֵׂה עִמָּֽנוּ אוֹת לְטוֹבָה וְיִרְאוּ שׂוֹנְאֵֽינוּ וְיֵבֽשׁוּ כִּי אַתָּה יְהֹוָה עֲזַרְתָּֽנוּ וְנִחַמְתָּֽנוּ: אֲמָרֵֽינוּ הַאֲזִֽינָה יְהֹוָה בִּֽינָה הֲגִיגֵֽנוּ: יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן אִמְרֵי פִֽינוּ וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבֵּֽנוּ לְפָנֶֽיךָ יְהֹוָה צוּרֵֽנוּ וְגוֹאֲלֵֽנוּ: כִּי לְךָ יְהֹוָה הוֹחָֽלְנוּ אַתָּה תַעֲנֶה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ: סוגרין הארון:

The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986

Forsake us not, Adonoy, our God be not far removed from us. Give us a sign of Your goodness that our enemies may see it and be ashamed; for You, Adonoy, have helped us and comforted us. Give ear to our words, Adonoy! Consider our meditations. May there be gracious acceptance for the words of our mouth, and the meditation of our heart, before You, Adonoy, our Rock, and our Redeemer. For to You Adonoy, we hope You will answer us Adonoy, our God.
