Where Scripture speaks
The passages this subject stands on, in canon order.
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Loneliness in Scripture, in full
Loneliness in Scripture is the cry of the isolated, the widow, the outcast, and the misunderstood — from Hagar in the wilderness to David in the caves to Elijah after Carmel to Paul in the Mamertine. The Bible does not promise the removal of loneliness but the presence of the God who sees (El Roi, Genesis 16:13). The solitary are set in families (Psalm 68:6), and the Lord stands with those whom others forsake.

What teachers have said
“Forsake me not, O Lord - Though all have forsaken me, do not thou. Be not far from me - Though my friends keep aloof, be thou near to help me.”
Adam Clarke · Commentary on the Bible
Written before 1832.
“my only one; which is now left alone and forsaken by my friends, and hath none to trust in but God.”
John Wesley · Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765
“My refuge is my God. Beautifully he said, ‘refuge,’ for there are many persecutors, and you alone are a refuge. Many are the wounds, but you alone are the physician.”
Jerome · Homily 68, on Psalm 90 (Alternate Series)
Written before 420.
“A heart-cutting paradox [UMBREIT]. God alone remains to whom he can look for attestation of his innocence; plaintively with tearful eye, he supplicates for this.”
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871
