    The authors investigate the existence of a nontrivial periodic solution to a discrete steady state system \[ X_{n+1}+X_{n-1}-f(n, X_n)=0, n\in {\mathbb Z} \] where \(f=(f_1, f_2, \dots, f_k)^{T}\in C({\mathbb Z},\times {\mathbb R}^{k}, {\mathbb R}^{k})\) and there is a positive integer \(\omega\) such that \(f(t+\omega, U)=f(t, U)\). By using a special version of the mountain pass theorem in the critical point theory, the authors obtain some sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of these results. Also they show that the results obtained in this paper are different from those \textit{Z. Zhou, J. S. Yu} and \textit{Z. M. Guo} [Proc. R. Soc. Edinb., Sect. A, Math. 134, No.~5, 1013--1022 (2004; Zbl 1073.39010)].
