This is quite easy. The new moon Feast timing is different to the sighting of the new moon's crescent that determined the first day of the month. The new moon Festival or feast was after the sighting of the new moon crescent. (see 1 Samuel 20:27). Psalms 81:3 is only stating that the trumpets are blown at the sighting of the new moon. It was done to declare the beginning of the new month once the crescent moon was sighted. You can read more about it from the Jews here linked.
You can clearly read the verses I provided. Psalm 81:3 states no such thing as looking for a crescent and then blowing a trumpet. You can read the verse yourself in Hebrew and tell me the definition of "keseh". It is used about 100 times in the Bible and always means hidden. Never crescent.
And you didn't explain how David and Jonathan and everyone else knew beforehand when the new moon would be. They didn't wait to look for a crescent and then blow a horn.
Instead of reading more about it from the Jews here linked, how about we read the Bible and use it to decide the truth instead of Jewish traditions. And this is coming from me, a Sephardic Messianic.
