Redefining 'No Evil'
Commentators clarify that this verse doesn't promise a life free from all trouble. Rather, it means no ultimate, destructive evil will befall the righteous. Scholars explain this refers to both the final punishment for sin, which Christ bore, and the ultimate power of sin. Any afflictions believers face are not truly 'evil' in God's economy, as He works them for their good.
