Parallelism.
Ancient Hebrew poetry commonly used parallelism — pairing lines so the second line echoes, contrasts, or completes the thought of the first (synonymous, antithetic, or synthetic parallelism). They also sometimes used acrostics (e.g., Psalm 119), but parallelism is the hallmark feature.
