Christ's Captivated Heart
Commentators like Spurgeon and Gill interpret this verse as a powerful declaration of Christ's love for the Church. The phrase "ravished my heart" (or "unhearted me") signifies that believers have completely captured His heart. This isn't due to our own merit, but because Christ has bestowed His own beauty and righteousness upon us, which He now cherishes.
