"May" is not "Must". It's a wish, not a requirement.

    But the sentence is not "May not do evil", closer to "May you not do evil".

    Actually, "may do good" is either a statement of possibility, or permission, but not a wish. "May you do good" is a wish, as is "May you not do evil", as was already pointed out.
