The Geneva Bible

From a copy of the Geneva Bible at archive.org, you can see amidst the tiny print here some of the section names (circled):

The 1611 Authorized Version (KJV)

This is a page from the scan of an original 1611 printing of The Holy Bible, conteyning the Old Testament, and the New ... in the Ross Bible Collection at the University of Pennsylvania. In order to read Psalm 119 (CXIX) there, you must enter image numbers (there is no Bible verse index!) 707 through 711:

Note that the section title circled in red (“NVN”) was done at a time when printers often used "U" and "V" interchangeably (for example, right in the title of this Bible, it uses “reuised” for the word revised). The title in green, PE, has remained the same across all versions, whereas those in orange have not (Samekh, Ayin and Tsadhe being closer to the Hebrew). Apart from underlining all the ways Psalm 119 refers to God's Word, this page also shows three (121, 122 and 132; circled) of the only five verses which do not contain a synonym for the Scriptures.
