Translating "rav" to "sagi" doesn't help me.  Did you intend more than
that?

Why only on Rosh Chodesh do we mention the shirei Dovid? <
We mention them every day in "Baruch sheOmar.">>
The question was about musaf;  we don't mention it in, for example,
musfei shalosh regalim when we also ask "vahavi'enu leTzion irecha" but
nothing about shirei David.

<<> 3. If we assume that shirei Dovid are the shir shel yom, how are they
"nishma'im be'irecha-they should be only amurim lifnei mizbechecha? <
We pray that they be heard in Tziyon when hQbh is meichin "mizbeiach
chadash.">>
That answers "lifnei mizbechecha", not ""nishma'im be'irecha"
