Easy -- use Transpose.  For example:

   x=Table[Random[Real],{4}]
   y=Table[Random[Real],{4}]
{0.0762965,0.682301,0.577304,0.357265}
{0.832996,0.00793735,0.917469,0.701247}

   xyPairs=Transpose[{x,y}]
{{0.0762965,0.832996},{0.682301,0.00793735},{0.577304,0.917469},
     {0.357265,0.701247}}

To check you have what you want, you could now use TableForm[xyPairs].
(Caution: Do NOT assign the result of TableForm[xyPairs] to a variable 
or try to operate upon that result as if it were the actual list of 
xy-pairs.)
