On those Mondays and Thursdays when Tahanun is said, the Leader says the following while the Torah scroll is being bound:

Hebrew

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֵי אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם
לְכוֹנֵן אֶת בֵּית חַיֵּינוּ
וּלְהָשִׁיב אֶת שְׁכִינָתוֹ בְּתוֹכֵנוּ
בִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵינוּ, וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן.

Sephardi

Yehi ratzon milfanei Avinu shebashamayim
lekonen et beit chayeinu
ulehashiv et Shechinato betocheinu
bimherah veyameinu, venomar Amen.

May it be the will of our Father in heaven to establish (the Temple), home of our life, and to restore His Presence to our midst, swiftly in our days - and let us say: Amen.

Hebrew

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֵי אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם
לְרַחֵם עָלֵינוּ וְעַל פְּלֵיטָתֵנוּ
וּלְמָנֹעַ מַשְׁחִית וּמַגֵּפָה מֵעָלֵינוּ
וּמֵעַל כָּל עַמּוֹ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן.

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֵי אָבִינוּ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם
לְקַיֵּם בָּנוּ חַכְמֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל
הֵם וּנְשֵׁיהֶם וּבְנֵיהֶם וּבְנוֹתֵיהֶם
וְתַלְמִידֵיהֶם וְתַלְמִידֵי תַלְמִידֵיהֶם
בְּכָל מְקוֹמוֹת מוֹשְׁבוֹתֵיהֶם, וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן.

Hebrew

אַחֵינוּ כָּל בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל
הַנְּתוּנִים בַּצָּרָה וּבַשִּׁבְיָה
הָעוֹמְדִים בֵּין בַּיָּם וּבֵין בַּיַּבָּשָׁה

וּמֵאֲפֵלָה לְאוֹרָה, וּמִשִּׁעְבּוּד לִגְאֻלָּה

As for our brothers of the whole house of Israel who are in distress or captivity, on sea or land, may the All-Present have compassion on them and lead them from distress to relief, from darkness to light, and from oppression to freedom, now, swiftly and soon - and let us say: Amen.
