The Guess Who's "Hang on to Your Life"

Earlier, I listened to The Best of the Guess Who and the spoken part at the end of "Hang on to Your Life" sounded sort of familiar to me:
They gaped upon me with their mouths
As a ravening and a roaring lion
I am poured out like water
And all my bones are out of joint
My heart is like wax
It is melted in the midst of my bowels
My strength is dried up like a potsherd
And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws
And thou hast brought me into the dust of death
I had to do some research, but I eventually found the source.  Translations may differ, but it's Psalm 22:13-15.
