The general pattern is as follows:

ListPlot[ Transpose[{listA, listB}] ]

The lists must have the same length, or Transpose will bark at you.

ListPlot[ Transpose[{listA, listB}], Joined->True] will draw lines
between the points.

ListPlot[ {Transpose[{listA, listB}], Transpose[{listC, listD}]} ] will
co-plot the two curves.

And so on.

One can also do the Transposes in advance:

listAB = Transpose[{listA, listB}];

listCD = Transpose[{listC, listD}];

The trailing semicolons prevent the whole matrix from being printed out
at length.

ListPlot[{listAB, listCD}, Joined->True]
