The 126th Psalm recounts the joy in the victory Israel felt when they defeated their enemies or fought off attacking nations with the help of the LORD. It was good times, good times. Now, they miss those good times, or want them restored. It is a great feeling to be on the winning side, and to be delivered by God, pulling the upset when the odds are completely in your enemy's favor.
Sowing in tears, reaping songs of joy means (to me) that in adversity, you still have to trust God that the outcome will be one of awesome joy.
