The final petition is whether YHWH's people will ever possess the holy mountains, asking whether YHWH remains God of them. The reference to holy mountains invokes the covenant center and YHWH's dwelling-place. The question whether YHWH is still their God indicates existential doubt about covenant relationship. The final plea for possession articulates the community's deepest need: not merely existence but relational security and land-possession. This verse concludes the great lament with unresolved questions: the community appeals but awaits divine response.
