Rashi, on Eccl 3:4

“A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.”

“A time to weep on the ninth of Av. and a time to laugh in the future, as it is said (Ps. 126:2): “Then our mouths will be filled with laughter.” a time of wailing in the days of mourning. and a time of dancing with bridegrooms and brides.”
